Padma Vibhushan late Akkineni Nageswara Rao's traditional styling of pancha kattu was quite popular those days and then youth would try to imitate their favourite hero by wearing pancha kattu. Movies like 'Dasara Bullodu', 'Mooga Manasulu', 'Palleturi Bava', etc. display the typical pancha kattu style of ANR's.
King Nagarjuna, who always follows the footsteps of dad's, showed great respect on his father. As we know, Nagarjuna has done dual roles in his forthcoming film 'Soggade Chinni Nayana'. He will be seen in traditional pancha kattu in father's role, Bangarraju', of the movie.
Interestingly, Pancha clad by Nagarjuna in the movie belonged to ANR. Not just that, the wrist watch worn by Nagarjuna in the movie, was actually bought by ANR in 1959. This is definitely a tribute by Nagarjuna towards his dad. As we know, Nagarjuna has impressed the movie buffs with his traditional outfits and East Godavari dialect in the trailers and teasers of the movie. The movie, which is scheduled for release, is expected to be a blockbuster.
