Speaking to a media source King Nagarjuna said he wished to give a befitting send-off to his dad, Dr.Akkineni Nageswara Rao. He said ANR was much more than a father to him. Meanwhile, Nagarjuna has also revealed the details of the last days of ANR. Having been fainted on sets of 'Manam', ANR was diagnosed as a cancer in him. Later, he was treated in his home itself. ANR completed all the shoot of the film including dubbing except an unfinished song.
Nagarjuna, being the son of ANR expressed his wish of making the movie a huge hit. However, it is now turned out to be the responsibility of every movie lover including Akkinenis fans making 'Manam' a blockbuser success. This is a token of our respect to the great legend of tollywood.
