On the work front, Akkineni Nagarjuna is busy shooting for his forthcoming film Om Namo Venkatesaya under the direction of K Raghavendra Rao. The recently released motion posters and first look posters received a huge response from the audience. Nag is also busy promoting his upcoming film Nirmala Convent, which is produced by himself under his production house Annapurna Studios.

Nagarjuna Akkineni has given a casting call to actors across different age groups.

Nagarjuna has asked enthusiastic actors to send their details to [email protected] to grab the chance to act with him. The actor, however, did not mention for which film the casting call was given.

Nag is currently acting in a devotional film titled ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’. Directed by veteran K Raghavendra Rao, the film recites the story of Hathiram Baba, one of the greatest devotees of Lord Venkateswara. Anushka, Vimala Raman, and several others are playing key roles.

He is also playing a cameo and producing a teenage romance drama titled ‘Nirmala Convent’. Srikanth’s son Roshan is making his debut as hero.

Hero Nagarjuna is once again getting ready to take all the audiences to a divine tour with his upcoming devotional film “Om Namo Venkatesaya”. As for the latest update, for this flick, a beautiful set was made in Annapurna Studios which resemblances the Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy temple surroundings. Recently, Sri Venkateswara Kalyanam was also held in the sets, where the film’s cast and crew along with some other people attended for this Kalyanam ceremony with utmost devotion.

“Om Namo Venkatesaya” will be the fourth devotional film of Nagarjuna with director K Raghavendra Rao after Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu, and Shirdi Sai. This movie features Nag as Hathiram Baba, a renowned devotee of Lord Venkateswara and Vimala Raman and Pragya Jaiswal as female leads. MM Keeravani is the music composer and JK Bharavi penned the script of the film, which also has Anushka playing an ardent devotee of Lord Venkateshwara.

‘Kanche’ beauty Pragya Jaiswal’s debut is a successful one. Soon after the film, the actress was flooded with a lot of offers. One of those was with Manchu hero. She signed a movie with Manchu Manoj, which would be made under T Satya direction. When everyone is happy about the same and are getting ready for the shoot, here is a disappointment that the actress is not going to be a part of the film now.

“We thought all was well and were looking forward to signing her but at last, things turned otherwise. We are now looking for her replacement,” revealed a source close to the production unit. Apparently, Pragya is busy with the shooting of Nagarjuna-starrer ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’ and the makers of Manoj’s next are now looking for another female lead.

Akkineni Nagarjuna’s ongoing devotional film ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’s logo has been disclosed to the public yesterday in a grand manner. The director of the film, K Raghavendra Rao himself shared the logo video on his Facebook page. Soon after the launch, it has gone viral on social media and everyone started sharing it. S Gopal Reddy is taking care of the cinematography department for the ​devotional flick.

The primary shot of the film was filmed on the hero Nagarjuna. The film is based on the story of Hathi Ram Baba. The film shoot is currently progressing on hero Nagarjuna in a uniquely collected set in Annapurna Studios. Anushka Shetty, Vimala Raman, Pavani Gangi Reddy, Saurabh Jain will be seen in important roles of the film. Keeravani scored the music.

It is already noted that Anushka is playing the role of a devotee in legendary filmmaker K Raghavendra Rao’s new devotional film ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya.’

Akkineni Nagarjuna is playing the lead role. Raghavendra Rao has now made a lengthy post on Facebook to reveal about Anushka’s character in the film. He praised Anushka to the core for being one of the very few actresses who could pull off any kind of character. He highlighted her performances in Arundhathi, Baahubali, Rudramadevi and Size Zero.

KRR added that scenes on Anushka were filmed on Tuesday. Her role will of just 10 minutes duration and will be shot completely in the first schedule itself. Anushka will later get busy with ‘Baahubali 2’ shooting, so makers etched this plan.

For the first time in her career, Anushka is playing a devotee.

King Nagarjuna’s latest devotional venture, Om Namo Venkatesaya had its launch couple of days ago. The film will be made in the direction of K Raghavendra Rao. The film will be having the regular shoot commencing from July 2nd at Annapurna Studios in a specially erected Tirupathi Temple set. The film unit is now getting warnings from Hathiram Mutt based in Tirupathi. The Mutt organizers have apparently unhappy with the way the makers are making the film. Their major allegation is that the makers did not take permission from the Mutt.

Raghavendra Rao, who is also a TTD Board member, is likely to meet the Mutt organizers very soon and resolve the issues. Surabh Jain, Vimala Raman and Pavani Gangireddy and Anushka Shetty will be seen in important roles of the film. MM Keeravani is the music director. A Mahesh Reddy is the film’s producer.

Telugu girl Pavani Gangireddy, who was recently seen in Mahesh Babustarrer ‘Brahmotsavam,’ has landed a role in Nagarjuna Akkineni’s devotional film ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya.’

Pavani, who has acted in a couple of Telugu films already, has been roped in by film’s director K Raghavendra Rao to play a pivotal role in the movie already having Anushka Shetty and Vimala Raman in key roles. Pavani expressed her excitement over pocketing a pivotal role in such a prestigious project. Pavani will also be seen next in Srinivas Avasarala’s directorial ‘Jyo Achuthananda’.

Keeravani has already composed four songs for ‘Namo Venkatesaya’, a film based on the life of Hathiram Baba, a true devotee of Lord Venkateswara. Shooting is expected to commence from next month.

After the grand success of Soggade Chinni Nayana, Akkineni Nagarjuna seems to have rejuvenated.

He already has put his next film ‘Oopiri’ ready for release on 25th March. Now, he is gearing up to start the shooting of his next film, a devotional film on Lord Vishnu. Tentatively titled ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’, it will be directed by K Raghavendra Rao and will begin shooting in the first week of February.

After giving a string of devotional classics like Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu and Shirdi Sai, Nag and Raghavendra Rao are joining hands again.

After reinventing himself with Manam, Nagarjuna has been continuously experimenting with his roles and films. He successfully came out of the monotonous hero roles which require fights and dances. We wish him a big success with this yet another devotional film.
