It
is
no
secret
that
2018
was
a
pretty
terrible
year
for
actor
Nagarjuna.
The
veteran
star
suffered
a
big
setback
when
Officer
bombed
at
the
box
office
and
failed
to
impress
critics.
The
film,
directed
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
was
such
an
underwhelming
affair
that
Nag
fans
virtually
disowned
it
much
to
the
shock
of
the
team.
Sadly,
the
King
actor's
next
release
Devadas
too
underperformed
at
the
box
office
despite
opening
on
a
fair
note.
Now,
here
is
some
exciting
news
for
Akkineni
fans.
According
to
reports,
Nagarjuna
might
soon
be
romancing
Pooja
Hegde
on
the
big
screen.
If
all
goes
as
planned,
the
Aravinda
Sameta
star
will
be
seen
opposite
the
veteran
actor
in
Bangarraju,
a
sequel
to
Soggade
Chinni
Nayana.
The
film
also
features
Naga
Chaitanya
in
the
lead.
The
buzz
is
that
Chay
will
be
paired
opposite
Keerthy
Suresh
in
Bangarraju.
Interestingly,
Pooja
Hegde
acted
with
Naga
Chaitanya
in
Oka
Laila
Kosam
and
shared
good
on-screen
chemistry
with
the
'Yuva
Samarat'.
It
will
be
interesting
to
see
Nagarjuna
romancing
his
son's
heroine
on
the
big
screen.
Meanwhile,
Nagarjuna
is
currently
gearing
up
to
host
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
3
and
this
has
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
movie
buffs.
The
Criminal
star
recently
landed
in
a
controversy
when
an
old
video
of
him
slamming
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
went
viral.
"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
doing.
I
don't
like
these
kinds
of
things," he
is
seen
saying
in
the
video.
On
the
film
front,
Nagarjuna
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Manmadhudu
2,
which
has
him
paired
opposite
Chay's
Rarandoi
Veduka
Chudam
heroine
Rakul
Preet.
The
romantic-comedy,
directed
by
Rahul
Ravindran,
is
slated
to
release
this
August.
