“I was very sure I wanted to do Brahmastra no matter what the length of my role” – Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna’s massive fan base in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is disappointed by the abbreviated length of his role in Ayan Mukerji’s scifi-mythological Brahmastra. But Nagarjuna says he was very clear in his mind as to why he did the film. “When Ayan narrated the story to me, I was very sure I wanted to do this film no matter what the length of my role. It’s not always about how long you are on screen. In Andha Kanoon Amitji had a guest appearance. But people remember the film only for him. I don’t think anything like Brahmastra has been attempted in Indian cinema before. I just had to be part of it.”

As for the miniature size of his role Nag explains, “Sometimes it is a pleasure to just be part of a film you believe in regardless of the length of the film. I’ve done more than enough films where I am in nearly every frame. Brahmastra was fun to shoot. All my scenes were with Alia and Ranbir, and they are so talented.”

For fans desirous of seeing, more of Nag on screen there is good news. “I am there in full-force in my next release The Ghost. It is an out-and-out action thriller. At this stage of my career I like doing action films. At my age I think I am in good shape,” says Nag with a chuckle.

Thank God will feature Ajay Devgn in the role of Chitragupt who is expected to be a bookkeeper of human deeds in the afterlife as per Indian mythology. While the trailer features him in a comedy avatar, it seems that certain scenes where he uses jokes and some objectional language have not gone down well with some audiences. Lawyer Himanshu Sharma has registered a complaint in Jaunpur court in Uttar Pradesh accusing the film’s trailer of insulting a Hindu deity like Chitragupt. He has reportedly stated in his complaint that the film not only mocks religion but also misrepresents the character portrayed by Ajay Devgn.

In a statement given to IANS, Himanshu Sharma said, “Chitragupta is regarded as the lord of Karma and keeps a record of a man’s good and bad deeds. Such depiction of Gods can create an unpleasant situation since it hurts religious sentiments.” It is being said that he has also been summoned to record a statement on November 18.

Speaking of the film, Thank God features Sidharth Malhotra in the role of a common man whereas he will be seen reuniting with Aiyaari and Marjaavaan co-star Rakul Preet Singh in the film. It will feature her in the role of his wife, who will also be sporting the avatar of a cop in the film. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film is slated to release during Diwali 2022, which is on October 25.
