The upcoming film “Hi Nanna,” starring Natural Star Nani, has generated significant anticipation, with its release slated for December 7th. The promotional campaign has been robust, capturing the audience’s attention. Nani’s dedicated involvement in the promotional activities has surprised many, showcasing his commitment to the project. The teaser and trailer suggest a promising blend of family entertainment and a captivating love story, further heightened by the presence of the talented Mrunal Thakur as the female lead and a cameo by Shruti Haasan, all under the direction of Shouryuv.
However, the pre-release event took an unexpected turn when a viral meme exposing the personal lives of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna was showcased. This move stirred controversy, particularly among Vijay Deverakonda’s fans, who began trolling Nani for incorporating the controversial content into the live event. In response, Nani clarified in a recent interview that the inclusion of the meme was unintentional. He attributed it to someone from his team getting overexcited and adding it without his knowledge. Despite the unintended controversy, Nani expressed regret and extended apologies to those who may have been hurt by the incident.
Controversies during film promotions can sometimes overshadow the positive aspects of a project. While “Hi Nanna” holds promise as an engaging film, the unintended meme incident serves as a reminder of the challenges in managing a diverse team during promotional events. Nani’s swift acknowledgment and apology aim to mitigate any negative impact on the film’s reception, emphasizing his commitment to entertaining audiences without causing unintended distress.
