Nagarjuna and Puri Jagannadh’s New Film in the Works? Here’s the Latest Update

Actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has been selective about his projects in recent years. After his last film, Naa Saami Ranga, which was released during Sankranthi 2024, he has been focusing on special roles in Dhanush’s Kubera and Rajinikanth’s Coolie. While both films are expected to hit the screens soon, fans have been eagerly waiting for his next solo hero project. Now, fresh reports suggest that director Puri Jagannadh has pitched a new story to Nagarjuna, and the actor has reportedly given a positive nod.

A New Collaboration After 20 Years?

Puri Jagannadh and Nagarjuna have worked together twice in the past. Their first film, Shivamani, was a commercial success. However, their second collaboration, Super, didn’t perform as expected at the box office, though its stylish presentation and hit songs kept it from being a failure. Despite these mixed results, their combination has always generated buzz. Now, if this new project materializes, it will be their third collaboration after nearly two decades.

Why This Project Matters for Both?

Puri Jagannadh has been struggling to regain his box office success after two back-to-back failures, Liger and Double iSmart. He is under pressure to deliver a strong comeback. On the other hand, Nagarjuna is also looking for the right script to return as a lead hero. He has been listening to various scripts but hasn’t finalized any solo project yet.

What makes this new project interesting is that reports suggest Nagarjuna himself might produce the film, indicating his strong belief in the story. This collaboration could benefit both, Nagarjuna could get a strong solo comeback, and Puri could redeem his career with a hit.

What’s Next?

As of now, there is no official confirmation about the film. While speculations are high, details regarding the story, cast, and production team are still under wraps. However, if everything goes as planned, this film could be a major highlight in Telugu cinema. Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement, which could happen soon.

For now, Nagarjuna is gearing up for the release of Kubera on June 20, while Coolie is expected to arrive around Dasara or Diwali 2025.
