Soon
after
leaving
the
direction
department
and
beginning
acting
career
with
his
first
film
Ashta
Chemma,
Nani
has
been
showered
with
affection
by
people
of
the
Telugu
States
as
their
own.
Later
on,
he
has
been
given
the
tag
'Natural
Star'
for
the
same
reason.
Throughout
his
career,
Nani
was
consistent,
committed,
and
hard
working.
He
tried
several
kind
of
roles
and
paved
way
for
newcomers
in
the
industry
through
his
films.
He
even
established
a
production
banner
'Wall
Poster
Cinemas'
to
back
them.
Years
later,
Nani
was
often
pointed
out
for
being
monotonous
and
becoming
run-of-the-mill
for
his
viewers
and
fans.
Nani
enjoys
a
separate
and
large
fan
base,
as
his
films
appeal
to
people
of
all
categories,
ages,
and
taste.
However,
most
of
his
recent
films
were
box
office
disasters.
He
has
pinned
all
his
hopes
on
his
upcoming
film
Dasara,
under
the
direction
of
Srikanth
Odela,
which
is
going
to
hit
the
screens
on
March
30.
However,
Nani
tried
to
present
himself
differently
to
the
fans
and
audiences
through
versatile
scripts
that
worked
great
for
him
as
an
actor
but
failed
at
the
box
office.
Take
a
look
at
such
six
films
you
shouldn't
miss
watching
to
see
the
actor
in
Nani

Ante
Sundaraniki
The
2022
film
starring
Nani
and
Nazria
Nazim
is
considered
one
of
the
best
films
that
talk
about
the
less-spoken.
Nani
has
done
pretty
well
in
the
role
of
Sundara
Prasad,
a
Brahmin
youth
who
loves
a
Christian
woman
and
defies
the
usual
norms
of
a
married
life.
The
film
tanked
at
the
box
office
due
to
lag
in
the
screenplay
but
has
been
appreciated
for
the
subject
it
portrayed
with
Nani's
top
notch
performance
to
date.

Directed
by
Hanu
Raghavapudi,
who
recently
helmed
'Sita
Ramam,'
Nani
played
the
role
of
a
coward
who
hides
his
love
interest
from
the
entire
village
for
years.
Nani
nailed
the
performance
with
his
comedy
timing
in
the
film
released
in
2016.

In
this
film
by
Mohana
Krishna
Indraganti,
Nani's
first
director,
he
plays
an
antihero.
He
is
portrayed
as
a
psycho
killer
who
avenges
the
death
of
his
wife.
Playing
such
a
role
for
an
actor
of
Nani's
stature
is
uncommon.
The
film
was
released
on
the
OTT
platform
Amazon
Prime
Video
directly
in
2020.

The
film
by
Tamil
actor-
director
Samuthirakani
shows
Nani
in
a
dual
role
for
the
first
time
in
his
career.
One
of
the
roles
Nani
played
is
of
youth
with
high
moral
values
and
fights
against
the
corrupt
bureaucracy.

This
2014
film
with
Krishna
Vamsi
has
allowed
Nani
to
bring
out
the
best
of
the
actor
in
him
playing
the
role
of
a
model
aiming
to
become
rich.
The
movie
was
one
of
the
first
disasters
in
his
career
at
the
box
office,
even
though
the
reality
of
the
story
and
his
performance
were
appreciated.
