Fan pitches script to Nani on stage, actor’s warm hug and encouraging words go viral

Telugu star Nani once again proved why he’s adored by fans—not just for his on-screen charisma but also his off-screen humility. At the pre-release event of his upcoming film HIT 3 in Kochi, the Dasara actor made headlines for his heartfelt interaction with an aspiring filmmaker.

During the event, a passionate fan approached Nani, holding the synopsis of a film script he had written. Spotting the young man’s enthusiasm, Nani asked him, “Do you have a synopsis?” Upon receiving confirmation, he turned to the organisers and said, “Let him come up on stage.” The fan was welcomed on stage and handed over a printed synopsis along with a link to his YouTube short film.

Nani responded with warmth and sincerity, telling the young filmmaker, “Today, on my way, I will read it. Or once I get on the flight, I will spend some time. I will watch the YouTube short also. This is my job. This is my responsibility - not for you, I’ll do it for me.”

Moved by the gesture, the fan asked for a hug. Without hesitation, Nani leaned in and gave him a warm embrace, patting him supportively on the back.

He then offered words of encouragement that resonated with everyone present. “Good luck, all the very best. Be with the same passion. I can see your heart is beating fast. I can see your love for cinema. If you continue this, if not for me, someone will [okay your script]. You will reach the place you want to reach.”
