Nagarjuna on Itllu Arjuna
Speaking at the event, Nagarjuna said he watched the film a month ago: “I really liked it. I am proud to be associated with the film as it has all the elements that will entertain audiences.”
Aniesh plays a mute character in his debut film. Nagarjuna said he had warned the actor about the risk of such a role. “When Aniesh came to me and asked me to watch the film, I was stunned. It is hard to convince in such a role but he did it elegantly,” he said. He also praised Anaswara Rajan, who plays Keerthi, and the pair’s chemistry.
Yellow Chunni Song Out
On the same day, T-Series Telugu released Yellow Chunni, the film’s third single, after Hai Re and Chinni Chinni. Thaman S composed the music, and Vishal Mishra sings the song.
