Carrying forward the legacy of iconic personalities in their respective fields is always a challenging task for their heirs. Legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao has left a strong imprint in the hearts of Telugu people with his iconic performances on-screen. His son Akkineni Nagarjuna continued his legacy forward showing his own mark. Now, its turn of his son Akkineni Naga Chaitanya to hold the baton of Akkineni legacy.
Early Life and Career
Naga Chaitanya has made his debut with the college politics film "Josh" directed by Vasu Varma in popular producer Dil Raju's production. Though the film has failed at the box-office, Naga Chaitanya made an impression with his act and screen presence. His major breakthrough came with his second film, "Ye Maya Chesave" costarring Samantha directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon.
Establishing Himself as a Leading Actor
Naga Chaitanya's successful stint continued with "100% Love" and "Tadakha". He has scored hits with mostly love stories rather than action-oriented films. He acted in the remarkable film "Manam" which has three generations of the Akkineni family and also marks the last film of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. His success with love stories continued with "Oka Laila Kosam", "Premam", and "Ra Randoi Veduka Chuddam".
Recent Projects and Future Ventures
After a brief setback, Naga Chaitanya scored a super hit with "Majili" another love story which also costarred his former wife Samantha. He then scored a hat-trick with "Venky Mama", "Lovestory", and "Bangarraju". He is back to score a success with the intense love story "Thandel" which also features talented Sai Pallavi. The film is slated to release in February next year. Makers of Thandel also released a striking birthday poster on the occasion of his birthday.
CineJosh wishes the charismatic Yuva Samrat Naga Chaitanya a very Happy Birthday and blockbuster year ahead.
