Confident about the film

To the question, “Hi Nanna, you seem very confident,” Nani says, “That’s the confidence the content of Hi Nanna provided me with. If I watch any film and I like it, I post about it on social media. I did it with Animal recently, I shared my experience as a viewer. I felt equally good when I watched my film as a viewer.”

On pulling off roles like Animal

Given that he loved Animal, would he ever play a role like Ranbir Kapoor’s in the film? “One hundred percent. Would you have ever imagined me in a story like Dasara? Till I do a role like that, you can't. Perhaps I will even play a role with more madness than the one in Animal one day. When such challenging roles and stories come my way, I prefer to do them.”

His upcoming projects

“Everything being conceptualised for the HIT universe comes to me first because I’m the producer, Sailesh is penning the story for HIT 3 right now. We will get it on-floors soon,” he says. When asked if the rumours that he’s working with Balagam director Venu Yeldandi for a film called Yellamma, Nani says, “Right now, it isn’t finalised. However, both producer Dil Raju and Venu have told me they want to work with me. Venu is so talented, I realised that after watching Balagam. I will be very happy if he does narrate a film to me.”

Hi Nanna receives good response
