Veteran actor Nagarjuna has consistently steered clear of negative characters throughout his career, opting instead for protagonist roles. Despite being approached to portray Arvind Swamy’s character in the movie Dhruva alongside Ram Charan, which was a remake of the Tamil film Thani Oruvan, Nagarjuna declined the offer. Director Surender Reddy met Nagarjuna in person, presented the stylized dark role, and promised a unique portrayal in Telugu, but unfortunately, Nagarjuna remained unconvinced, according to a source.
There are now reports that director Lokesh Kanakaraj is contemplating casting the Manmadhudu star in a negative role in his upcoming movie Coolie, which also features Rajnikanth. Nagarjuna has typically shied away from such roles due to his dedicated fan base, who prefer seeing him in positive and lively characters. Additionally, the source mentions that Nagarjuna, being financially secure, has no need to take on darker roles solely for financial gain.
In recent times, Nagarjuna found success with his latest film Naa Saami Ranga, marking a resurgence in his career. Known for his expertise in delivering rural-centric movies, Nagarjuna has achieved acclaim with films like Bangarraju and Sogade Chinni Nayana, as noted by the source.
