A New Turn for Nani After The Paradise?

Natural Star Nani initially won over audiences with relatable, boy-next-door roles. Over the years, he has experimented with diverse stories and embraced mass and action-oriented characters in films such as ‘Dasara’, ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ and ‘The Paradise’. These films have also expanded his market reach. He is currently working on ‘Bloody Romeo’, an action drama directed by Sujeeth with a strong-classic touch. However, reports suggest that Nani is now looking to take a break from back-to-back heavy action projects and explore stories that bring him closer to his earlier, natural style.

Considering audience feedback and the continued reception for family-oriented stories, Nani is reportedly keen on choosing scripts built around emotions, family relationships and relatable characters. He is said to be in discussions with filmmakers such as Shiva Nirvana and Venky Atluri. While he may not completely move away from action, the genre could be incorporated when required by the story. Rather than being restricted to one style, Nani appears to be looking at maintaining a balance between different genres. The shift following ‘The Paradise’ has generated curiosity over his upcoming choices and whether his return to natural performances and family-oriented stories will offer audiences a fresh experience.
