Telugu superstar Nagarjuna has started shooting for his new Telugu film. Sharing details Nag tells me, It is a film directed by Praveen Sattaru. Hes a big name in Telugu cinema with many hits to his credit. We will be shooting in Hyderabad, London, Goa and Ooty. Its an out-and-out action film. Im going to level with you, Subhash. I am in the mood for action. Enough of family dramas, love stories and bio-pics. The audience wants to see some solid action on screen. I think I am up to it. Ive never felt fitter in my life. So my forthcoming films will be action-dominated. Even my next release Wild Dog is an action film.Ashishor Solomons Telugu film Wild Dog would have been released in 2020. But you know what happened. 2020 is a year we all want to blur out of our calendars. We had completed a majority of the film before Covid19 struck. We resumed shooting in September 2020. Ever since then Ive been shooting non-stop.Shedding light on his role in Wild Dog Nag says, Its about a political extraction, a jihadi whom we RAW agents have to extract from a hostile country. Though it is based on a real incident we have fictionalized the actual headline. Nowadays one cant be too careful.
