Veteran actor Jagapathi Babu has launched his new celebrity show, 'Jayammu Nischayammu Raa with Jagapathi.'

Akkineni Nagarjuna was the first guest on the show, which had a good mix of humour, nostalgia, and extremely sad moments.

When Nagarjuna's sister Susheela and brother Venkat surprised him on set, it was one of the most affecting parts.

Susheela told about a painful time in her life when her husband was dying in a very emotional way.

He added that Nagarjuna sat next to him and promised to take care of the family for the rest of his life, and he has always followed that promise. Her passionate words moved not just Nagarjuna but also the audience, indicating how strong the actor is in real life.

Jagapathi Babu asked Nagarjuna about his renowned father, Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), which was a beautiful approach to remember the Akkineni family.

Nagarjuna talked about how his father was in the hospital when he died and how the whole family came to see him. They all loved those last times they spent together. He also recalls how ANR felt about his movie Annamayya. He added that his father cried after witnessing it, which is one of Nagarjuna's favorite memories.

Even though the concert was quite sad, there were some amusing bits. Jagapathi Babu made fun of Nagarjuna's "lady-killer" image in a funny way and talked about his favorite co-stars. They also talked about Nagarjuna's courageous career choices that have made him one of the most famous actors in Telugu cinema.

Nagarjuna was in the movie Coolie, which starred Rajinikanth as the lead role. He played Simon Xavier, a vicious smuggler, in the movie that came out on August 14. It was up against the big-budget action movie War 2.
The first episode of Jayammu Nischayammu Raa set a good tone for the series by mixing warmth, humor, and deep truths in just the right way.

Fans have commended Jagapathi Babu for being able to communicate to guests honestly and for being able to steer conversations in both fun and serious directions.
