Nagarjuna is not seen on the big screen in solo roles after he entertained with Naa Saami Ranga. He is playing only cameos in Super Star Rajinikanth's Coolie and Dhanush's Kuberaa.
Speculation is increasing over Nagarjuna's next solo project. Earlier rumours spread that Nagarjuna would be teaming with young Kollywood director Naveen and the film would be bankrolled on UV Creations banner. Nagarjuna narrated changes to the script but Naveen couldn't impress him.
In the meantime, reports are coming that Nagarjuna would be teaming with another Kollywood director Ra Karthik. A source shares “Nagarjuna agreed in principle to collaborate with Ra Karthick two days ago,” a source revealed. “Karthick, known for Tamil films like Nitham Oru Vaanam, pitched a hero-centric story that caught Nagarjuna’s interest. The project is set to roll out soon.”
The source shares “He has been reviewing several scripts for a comeback as a lead actor,” and added “Though content with playing diverse and special roles in Kuberaa and Coolie, Nagarjuna has been keen to return to his comfort zone—playing the central protagonist.”
The source reveals “In Kuberaa, he plays an upright officer opposite Tamil star Dhanush in what is designed as a multi-starrer. Meanwhile, his role in Coolie is short but impactful,”
