It has been a while since actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has bagged a blockbuster hit at the box office.

There has been a lot of hype about his upcoming films, and Nagarjuna is planning two new movies, one of which is a remake of the Tamil hit Ayothi.

Even though Nagarjuna hasn't released a significant solo single recently, he is gradually gaining traction with significant supporting parts.

The veteran actor has been praised, particularly for his performance in Kubera, after appearing in Rajinikanth's Coolie, Dhanush's Kubera, and Ranbir Kapoor's Brahmastra. Nagarjuna is getting ready to take on more significant roles as a result of his success.

According to reports, Tamil director Karthik will helm the historic project, which will be produced by Annapurna Studios, Nagarjuna's home banner, as discussions about his 100th film intensify. But there are other movies in the works.

The most recent rumours state that Nagarjuna will also appear in the Telugu version of the highly regarded Tamil movie Ayothi, which originally starred Sashikumar. The actor has reportedly expressed a strong interest in adapting the film for Telugu audiences after being moved by its intensely emotional content. Discussions are now taking place with Ayothi's original producers, Trident Arts.
