![]() ![]() That is when I decided to go for it', he recalls. After they insisted me on listening to the script, I found it surprising that there is no similarity between Baba and Annamayya. 'I was not interested when the story was suggested because I had worked on 'Annamayya' before. Nagarjuna, who has been dabbling with various kinds of characters viz Soggade Chinni Nayana, Manam, and Oopiri however was reluctant while the script first approached him. 'Govinda Namalu' and 'Anandam' song are my personal favorites, he pointed. Music of M M Keeravani just enhanced the complete film and pushed it to a next level. While not much of information was available about Baba, we managed to make the most out of what we could find. But when Lord Venkateswara appears to him in the form of a five-year-old child. Anushka's character is that of a disciple of Lord Vishnu who guides Hathiram Baba. He has been meditating in a jungle for 15 years in the search of Lord Venkateswara. Speaking about his co-stars, Nagarjuna said, Pragya Jaiswal played the role of Baba's sister-in-law and there wouldn't be any romance between me and the actresses. ![]() Like all the previous films on devotional lines, this movie too, is high on emotions and none other than Raghavendra Rao has this impeccable quality of presenting devotional drama in a high-end commercial format', shared the actor, who added that it was the director's idea to grow beard for the character. The movie depicts the relationship between Baba and Lord Venkateswara. 'Om Namo Venkatesaya remains a film that stands out in my career. In a recent interaction with the press, Nagarjuna gets talking about his role as Hathiram Baba and how it has been working with Raghavendra Rao after delivering hits like Annamayya, Shiridi Sai and Sri Ramadasu on the same lines. The movie is a screen adaptation of the life of Hathiram Baba, an ardent devotee of Lord Venkateswara. But it seems that this film is no better than the first one.The fourth devotional film starring actor Akkineni Nagarjuna in the direction of K Raghavendra Rao- ' Om Namo venkatesaya' is releasing on February 10. Several distributors, who bought Shiridi Sai also bought this film, hoping they would recover the money from the first film’s loss. Mahesh Reddy’s earlier film, Shiridi Sai was also a devotional one starring Nag, but that too was a flop. ![]() In my view, the timing of this film is not correct as it should have released either on a festival date or during the summer holidays," says Satish. The film is good and people who watch it are giving positive feedback. "The film was released in nearly 45 screens in Uttarandhra and the revenue is disappointing. When contacted, Satish didn’t want to talk about the figures, but admitted that the film is not doing well. Satish and he incurred a loss of nearly Rs 2 crore. According to a source, the Vizag area rights were bought by B. Producer Dil Raju, who bought the Nizam area rights has incurred a loss of nearly Rs 5 crore. Of course, he is safe as he sold the film for a good price. Mahesh Reddy, Nagarjuna’s best friend, is the producer and has expressed happiness at making the film. Interestingly, the film and Nagarjuna received a lot of praise from everyone. As a result, the distributors have all become dull and sad. ![]() Even on a Sunday, revenues didn’t improve. Only this time, the situation is different and the collections are worsening. On the second day, they held a media conference and said that their earlier film Annamayya also got dull openings, but picked up after day 11. Raghavendra Rao and Nag, however, believe that the collections are going to improve after word spreads. This film also happens to be one of Nag’s biggest flops when compared to his earlier flop films, Bhai and Kedi.ĭirector K. The openings of the film have been bad and even a small star gets bigger openings than this. The film that showcases Nagarjuna as Hathi Ram Baba is the biggest disaster in Tollywood in recent years. The much-awaited devotional film, Om Namo Venkatesaya, is in the news for all the wrong reasons. ![]()
