Akkineni Nagarjuna gave series of hits in the recent past starting from "Manam" to "Oopiri". But his latest film "Om Namo Venkatesaya" bit the dust. Hits and flops are part and parcel of any hero's career. So, one failure won't depress such senior stars.
Everyone shocked to see Nag cancelling all his assignments, staying indoors at his home for couple of days last week.
Industry folks wondered why he took the failure of this movie to his heart. But the twist in the tale is that he didn't go in depression with failure of his movie but the happenings in his son's personal life.
The industry grapevine is that he has been worried about his handsome young son Akhil's non-happening career. None of the projects that he planned for his son are taking place. This has disappointed him.
Causing more worry, his son's personal life has landed in mess. Industry has been abuzz with this gossip that his son's marriage has been called off. Akhil got engaged to Shriya, granddaughter of business tycoon GVK Reddy.
The engagement ceremony was held in grand way in Hyderabad. As all arrangements were being made for destination wedding in Italy in May, the news of Akhil and Shriya calling off their engagement broke.
Initially both the parents have counselled them but both Akhil and Shriya have decided to part ways. Thus the marriage is called off.
This was the main reason why Nagarjuna was seen in despair. Hope everything turns out to be bright in their lives of this star father and star son. They should believe in this Telugu sametha - 'Jarigedanta Mana Manchike'!
