Veteran
actor
Nagarjuna
is
one
of
the
most
popular
names
in
Telugu
cinema.
Fondly
referred
to
as
'King',
the
star
enjoys
a
strong
fan
following
because
of
his
good
looks
and
evergreen
personality.
In
fact,
many
feel
that
he
is
still
more
popular
than
several
young
stars.
At
present,
Nagarjuna
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Officer
which
is
slated
to
hit
the
screens
tomorrow(June
1,2018).
The
film
is
a
cop-drama
and
features
him
in
the
role
of
a
ruthless
cop.
Directed
by
film-maker
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
it
also
features
newcomer

RGV
is
going
through
a
bad
phase
on
the
work
front
and
Officer
is
a
crucial
release
for
him.
In
1989,
RGV
and
Nagarjuna
had
teamed
up
for
Siva
which
was
a
trend-setter
and
is
regarded
as
a
classic.
As
such,
fans
are
bound
to
have
high
expectations
from
Officer.
It
will
be
worth
watching
whether
the
film
lives
up
to
these
high
expectations.
With
Officer
set
to
hit
the
screens,
here
