Off late, Nagarjuna has been struggling to score a success as his solo films are not making much of an impact. Disappointments like Officer, Manmadhudu 2, Wild Dog, and The Ghost have further dampened his stardom at the box office. Despite being known for his experimental stints throughout his long career and previously scoring successes, the actor is now facing a series of flops. This situation isn’t new for Nagarjuna, as he has always managed to make a comeback with a hit in the past.
However, this time around, age is playing a crucial factor despite the charm that has earned him the title of one of the most handsome actors in the film industry. This has made the actor more cautious in choosing his subjects, and Nagarjuna is currently working towards making these careful choices.
Even though his recent lead roles have turned out to be disappointments, Nagarjuna’s involvement in multi-starrers, where his roles carry significant weight, has allowed him to remain successful during challenging periods of his career. Films like DevaDas, Oopiri, Manam, Bangarraju and Naa Saami Ranga have ensured that he still maintains a strong presence at the box office.
As Nagarjuna carefully plans to shape his career, the announcements of his pivotal roles in Kubera, a project with Dhanush, and another role in Rajinikanth’s film Coolie are expected to have the same impact as his previous successes. While fans and audiences may worry that the beloved actor is beginning to lose his mark in lead roles, his involvement in Pan India projects is likely to restore his slightly diminished stardom as a leading man.
