Nag says doing film with Mani Ratnam There are rumours that Mani Ratnam is directing a Telugu film with Nagarjuna in the lead. Confirming these rumours Nag says he is getting ready for one of the biggest challenges in his career.
Only Nagarjuna can coax the Tamil maverick to move to Andhra to make a film featuring the two biggest superstars of Andhra. Says Nag, 'Yes, I am doing a film with Mani Ratnam with Mahesh Babu and I in the lead in Telugu. Mani gave me a 40-minute narration, and I was clean-bowled by what I heard.
How was Mani convinced to do a film away from native tongue? Says Nag, 'Actually Mani has done another Telugu film Geetanjali with me. That's the only other Telugu film he has done so far. I guess I bring out the Andhra side of Mani.'
The details are still being worked out. But Nag says it would be a very ambitious film. 'Mahesh and I are coming together for the first time.
Audiences would expect something special. At the moment I'm focusing on the release of my family film Manam which stars my father , my son and me. It is a legacy left behind by my father for my fans. And I am the custodian of that legacy.'
