Post the success of Hi Nanna and Dasara, Nani is all set to release his next film, Surya’s Saturday on 29th August. In the film, he plays a man with anger issues, who vents it out only on Saturdays. Over the past few years, there has been a growing trend of top Hindi talents making their way to the south, be it Saif Ali Khan, Bobby Deol, Janhvi Kapoor and many more.
Now in an exclusive interview with ETimes, Nani opens up on if he would be keen on entering Hindi cinema, he said , “ We are in a generation where we don’t need to move anywhere , moving means stop doing Telugu films, and doing just Hindi films .. I think once in a while a Telugu actor will do a Hindi film, and a Hindi actor will do a film in South , a Tamil actor will do a Kannada film etc ..we all are trying to do a great film and once we do that , it becomes a pan-India film automatically .. it will reach out to everyone. Take for example Rishab Shetty‘s Kantara – it is a Kannada film, but has reached the Hindi audience in a much bigger way than some of their own movies have, so if you want to make a film for Hindi audience, why make it only in Hindi? Make it wherever, but it make it great.”
“ Collaborations can always happen ..like there are great directors and actors in Hindi cinema and we can always collaborate. Like, if Rajkumar Hirani sir or Imtiaz Ali sir pitch me an idea, I would love to come and work in Hindi films, it will be a good experience, but I will come back to Telugu films. Right now we are open to anything and everything, but wherever you are, that will be your base” he added.
