A
sensation,
euphoria
and
a
trendsetter
of
sorts
during
its
time
of
release!
1989
was
the
year
when
King
Nagarjuna,
the
then
heartthrob
of
Andhra
youth,
created
waves
across
Andhra
Pradesh
with
cult
classic
movie
called
Shiva
under
a
debutant
director.
The
movie
also
gave
birth
to
the
film-maker,
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
Shiva
went
on
to
become
a
colossal
blockbuster
by
earning
huge
revenue
and
also
received
widespread
critical
acclaim.
Now,
after
a
gap
of
close
to
3
decades,
28
years
to
be
precise,
Akkineni
Nagarjuna
and
maverick
director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
are
joining
hands
together
for
yet
another
movie.
An
excited
RGV
announced
the
news
through
his
social
account.
"I
am
extremely
excited
that
I
am
doing
a
film
with
Nagarjuna
after
nearly
25
years
but
contrary
to
some
uninformed
media
speculations,
this
new
film
is
nothing
to
with
SHIVA,
neither
in
character
nor
in
story
content..
Its
a
very
different
but
an
extremely
realistic
action
film
set
against
a
story
such
as
neither
me
nor
Nagarjuna
has
ever
done
before."
"I
just
hope
I
will
once
again
live
up
to
his
expectations
which
he
had
of
me
the
first
time
he
gave
me
a
break."
"We
are
coming
back
with
an
action
film."
RGV
has
had
some
setbacks
in
his
professional
life
as
his
previous
outings
have
turned
out
to
be
duds
at
the
box
office
while
Nagarjuna,
apart
from
his
last
venture,
Om
Namo
Venkatesaya,
has
been
quite
successful.
As
of
now,
the
Akkineni
actor
is
playing
the
role
of
a
mentalist
in
the
upcoming
sequel,
'Raja
Gari
Gadhi
2'.
He
will
soon
be
seen
in
a
multi
starrer
film
with
Nani.
The
responsible
actor
turned
father
is
also
busy
with
his
son,
Naga
Chaitanya's
wedding
with
actress
Samantha
this
week
and
is
said
to
start
the
project
once
a
couple
of
the
aforementioned
commitments
are
completed.
On
the
other
hand,
Varma
is
wielding
the
microphone
for
an
Abhishek
Bachchan
starrer,
Arrest.
He
has
also
announced
a
biopic
on
late
legendary
actor
turned
politician,
NTR
which
is
apparently
titled
as
Lakshmi
NTR,
where
in
the
rest
of
the
cast
and
crew
are
yet
to
be
finalized.
All
said
and
done,
one
hopes
that
the
new
age
movie
of
the
dynamic
combo
repeats
the
same
magic
as
that
of
Shiva.
