Akkineni Nagarjuna said that he’s worried and anxious to play Lord Shirdi Sai Baba in his upcoming movie. Nagarjuna, in one his recent promotional interviews for Rajanna said that he’s a wee bit anxious to play the role of Shirdi Sai Baba since it is a divine character. The star actor says that since Sai Baba idol is a faith for millions of people, he’s feeling the heat about the characterization.
I’m a bit nervous to play Shirdi Sai Baba since the name itself is a trust for lakhs of people. So I need to ensure that the character will be etched properly whilst respecting the sentiments and values of the people”, said Nagarjuna. Asked how felt once again doing a devotional film after Annamayya and Sri Ramadasu, “I earlier played Annamayya and Sri Ramadasu and both are the characters of devotee. But in Shirdi Sai Baba movie, I play the divine role and not a devotee. So it’s very challenging than my earlier two movies,” signs off Nag.
