King Nagarjuna was the chief guest for the pre-release event of Karthi’s upcoming film, Sardar. The actors have shared a close bond since they acted alongside each other in Oopiri. Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Pictures is presenting Sardar in Telugu, which adds another layer to their bonding.
Karthi spoke at length about his bond and admiration with Nagarjuna, and Nagarjuna pleasantly surprised everyone with a statement about Karthi. Nag said that Karthi achieved a rare and impossible feat, where he managed to get out of the shadow of his brother Suriya. Nag said that it is impossible to come out of the shadow of your brother when your brother is a Superstar, but that Karthi managed to do it with the kind of films he has done, and the kind of talent he possesses.
Nag said that he’s only ever seen two other people like Karthi; Pawan Kalyan in Telugu, and Puneeth Rajkumar in Kannada, who became massive stars, on par with their brothers. This comment has been trending on social media, with everyone praising Karthi and Nag at the same time. On the other hand, Sardar is all set to be released on October 21st.
