Veteran
actor
Nagarjuna,
last
seen
in
the
box
office
dud
Manmadhudu
2,
is
going
through
a
terrible
phase
on
the
professional
front.
Now,
it
seems
that
'King'
is
set
to
bounce
back
in
style.
According
to
reports,
Nags
might
soon
star
in
the
Telugu
remake
of
the
popular
Hindi
film
Raid
and
add
a
new
dimension
to
his
career.
The
grapevine
also
suggests
that
the
team
might
rope
in
a
'strong
performer'
to
play
the
antagonist
opposite
the
mass
hero
in
the
eagerly
awaited
remake.
Raid,
featuring
Bollywood
hero
Ajay
Devgn
and
Allari
Bullodu
actor
Saurabh
Shukla
in
the
lead,
was
based
on
a
real-life
IT
raid
that
rocked
Lucknow
in
the
1980s.
The
film
received
favourable
reviews
from
most
critics
and
did
reasonably
well
at
the
box
office.
Ajay
Devgn,
in
particular,
had
managed
to
impress
fans
with
his
realistic
and
mature
performance.
Many
feel
that
this
proposed
remake
might
help
Nagarjuna
redefine
his
on-screen
image
and
win
back
the
support
of
fans.
However,
remaking
Raid
might
not
be
a
cakewalk
as
the
film
clicked
with
the
audience
due
to
its
UP
(Uttar
Pradesh)
setting.
A
lot
will
depend
on
whether
the
makers
are
able
to
adapt
the
film
to
suit
Telugu
sensibilities.
Coming
back
to
Nagarjuna,
he
is
busy
hosting
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
3,
which
has
proved
to
be
a
mixed
bag
so
far.
While
the
Don
star
has
impressed
a
section
of
the
audience
with
his
hosting
skills,
some
folks
feel
that
he
could
have
done
a
better
job.
On
the
film
front,
Nagarjuna
is
set
to
begin
work
on
Bangarraju,
a
sequel
to
the
much-loved
Sankranti
hit
Soggade
Chinni
Nayana.
He
also
has
the
Bollywood
biggie
Brahmastra,
featuring
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
RRR
beauty
Alia
Bhatt
in
the
lead.
The
film
is
likely
to
hit
screens
in
2020.
So,
do
you
think
Nagarjuna
is
the
right
choice
for
the
Telugu
remake
of
Raid?
Will
it
help
him
get
his
career
back
on
track?
