It's
no
secret
that
2018
was
a
forgettable
year
for
noted
actor
Nagarjuna.
'King'
suffered
a
big
blow
when
the
crime-drama
Officer
underperformed
at
the
box
office
and
received
flak
from
his
own
fans.
The
film,
directed
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
never
clicked
with
critics
and
this
resulted
in
its
downfall.
The
star's
next
release
Devadas
too
failed
to
live
up
to
expectations
and
ended
up
being
a
letdown.
Now,
Nagarjuna
is
in
the
limelight
for
a
shocking
reason.
According
to
reports,
actress
Keerthy
Suresh
has
opted
out
of
Bangarraju
and
left
Akkineni
fans
in
a
state
of
shock.
The
Mahanati
star
had
initially
agreed
to
do
the
film
but
later
informed
the
makers
that
she
would
not
be
available.
The
buzz
is
that
she
found
some
issue
with
the
film
on
second
thoughts.
Keerthy's
exit
virtually
means
that
Bangarraju
will
not
hit
screens
during
Sankranti
2020.
The
film,
a
sequel
to
Soggade
Chinni
Nayana,
also
has
Naga
Chaitanya
in
the
lead.
Meanwhile,
Nagarjuna
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
Manmadhudu
2,
a
romantic-comedy.
The
film
features
him
in
the
role
of
a
50-year-old
playboy
and
is
likely
to
be
a
fun-filled
affair.
Actress
Rakul
Preet
is
the
leading
lady.
The
film
is
slated
to
release
in
August.
Nags
is
also
gearing
up
to
host
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
3,
which
has
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
fans.
The
show,
likely
to
feature
several
interesting
names,
has
already
landed
in
a
controversy.
Last
year,
the
Criminal
star
had
slammed
Bigg
Boss
and
called
it
'voyeuristic'.
"Please
don't
ask
me
about
Bigg
Boss.
I
will
talk
bad
about
the
show.
I
don't
like
the
concept
of
Bigg
Boss.
It's
voyeuristic
and
watching
what
other
persons
are
doing.
I
don't
like
these
kinds
of
things,"
he
had
added.
The
strong
comments
are
going
viral
and
this
has
left
fans
shocked.
