Akkineni
Nagarjuna,
who
made
his
Tamil
debut
through
Ratchagan
in
1997
says
Suriya,
whom
he
admires,
is
a
bigger
star
outside
of
Tamil
Nadu
too.
"I'm
a
fan
of
a
very
few
actors.
Suriya
happens
to
be
one
among
them.
I
fell
in
love
with
his
work,
especially
after
'Ghajini',
and
I
think
he
is
a
bigger
star
not
just
in
Tamil
Nadu.
He
is
equally
popular
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
too," Nagarjuna
said
at
the
audio
launch
of
his
upcoming
Tamil-Telugu
bilingual
Thozha.
Suriya
was
the
chief
guest
at
the
event,
where
also
present
were
Karthi
and
Tamannaah
Bhatia,
the
lead
actors
of
Thozha.
Talking
about
the
film,
which
is
the
official
remake
of
French
drama
The
Intouchables,
Nagarjuna
said
he
was
lucky
to
have
worked
in
it.
"I
consider
myself
extremely
lucky
to
have
been
a
part
of
this
project.
It
is
a
film
very
close
to
my
heart,"
he
said,
adding
that
he
found
a
younger
brother
in
Karthi
after
working
with
him
in
Thozha.
In
the
film,
Nagarjuna
plays
a
quadriplegic
millionaire
bound
to
a
wheelchair,
and
Karthi
will
be
seen
as
his
caretaker.
Taking
a
dig
at
Karthi,
he
said:
"My
only
problem
with
the
film
was
that
Karthi
got
to
dance
with
Tamannaah,
but
I
couldn't."
Nagarjuna
also
credited
Karthi
for
helping
him
to
dub
in
Tamil
after
many
years.
Directed
by
Vamsi
Paidipally,
the
film
is
produced
by
PVP
Cinema
and
it's
slated
for
release
on
March
25.
