That Myna director Nagashekar is actively pursuing acting is known. The director-turned-actor stars in the recently-released Chandralekha, which has Chiranjeevi Sarja and Shanvi Srivastava in lead roles. Now we hear that the actor-director will star in the sequel of Sanju Weds Geetha. Nagashekar was the director of
Sanju Weds Geetha, but in
Sanju Weds Geetha 2, the directorial duties have reportedly been handed over to his brother Chiranjeevi as Nagashekhar will be the male lead.
The first film had
Ramya and
Srinagara Kitty in lead roles and did well at the box office.
While he has played supporting roles in around 150 films, Nagashekar will play the role of a hero for the first time in the upcoming film
Tharle Nan Makkalu. The actor-director revealed that he wanted to play actor’s Chetan’s role in
Myna, but since scripting and directing took up too much time, he had to forgo the opportunity.
