Bangarraju’s Success Proved Everyone Wrong: Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya's Bangarraju is doing very well even in the pandemic uncertainty. The movie is already a blockbuster and the team celebrated a grand event 'Bangarraju Blockbuster meet' with fans in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh.

Speaking at the event, Nagarjuna said," The whole world was terrified. Everyone thought about who would watch a movie under such situations. Movies got stopped in North India. But our Telugu movie lovers wanted movies for Sankranthi. Together they made the movie a chartbuster. My salute to them. Everyone says the movie is successful because of my confidence in the script, but the fact is I trusted the Telugu audience. There is no Sankranthi without movies. I did not come to talk about collections. Collections are nothing Before Your affection. Seeing all this, I want to thank my father Akkineni Nageswar Rao. All your love is because of him. Thanks to everyone who worked on the film. Bangarraju is a perfect Telugu movie. We are not Bangarraju. Real Bangarraju is my father. I believe he is somewhere here and watching us. NTR and ANR are the two eyes of the industry. Today is NTR's Vardhanthi. We must always remember him. NTR Lives On. ANR Lives On".

Naga Chaitanya looked like a happy man with the response to the film. He said, "You gave our career-best openings. We are going to witness career-best collection as well. Bangarraju is a film to be remembered forever. I was initially hesitant to play this character. But Kalyan Krishna was very helpful and encouraging. He got me close to the audience with Rarandoi and took me much closer to them with this film. Thanks to everyone who worked on the film. This team is also like gold. Krithi Shetty has hit a hat trick. Thanks to Ramya Krishna, Rao Ramesh, Daksha, Jhansi. I know how you receive if we come up with a good movie. I now experienced the feel of scoring a proper commercial chartbuster".

Director Kalyan Krishna couldn’t hide his excitement about the response the movie is receiving. "I do not know where the Godavari was born, where it meets. But the Godavari means Rajahmundry. Nag Sir wanted the movie's pre-release event here but we are having the success Meet here. He loves Rajahmundry so much. Chay is really a Gold. I will say this word many times. Kriti Shetty is a very good person. It is easy to work with her. I travelled a lot with this movie and it is so close to my heart," he said.

Krithi Shetty who completed a hattrick with this movie is a major attraction at this event. "Bangarraju means Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya. They are gold in real life as well. I am very happy to act with them. I really enjoyed this role when I heard the story. I give credit to the director for it. Kalyan Krishna is a very good director. Ramya Krishna is an amazing actress.
