Natural Star Nani was the most bankable hero in Tollywood since his average films turned out to be commercial hits. But, he is now no more a reliable star given that he is struggling to score hits even though his films are receiving average to positive reports.
Midde Class Abbayi directed by Venu Sreeram was the last commercial hit of Nani who later starred in films like Krishnarjuna Yuddham, Devadas Jersey and Gang Leader. Except for the Goutham Tinnanuri directorial which ended as an average grosser, all the other films turned out as disasters.
Gang Leader result is worrying Nani who is now under immense pressure. The film was actually off to good start and it went on to do decent business in first weekend. However, the film witnessed huge drops from first Monday. Now, Gang Leader’s business is coming to an end with mega star Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy releasing in couple of days to occupy most of the theaters in Telugu states.
Nani is in big dilemma regarding his next venture. He is unable to decide what kind of subjects he needs to pick up. Nani is playing a role with negative shades in his 25th film V- The Film where Sudheer Babu is playing the protagonist. Mohan Krishna Indraganti is the director.
Nani is in talks for few other projects. But, after the debacle result of Gang Leader, he decided to be extra cautious in selecting subjects. Right now, Nani is in desperate need of a success. Hope, he will come back strong with his next ventures.
