January 22, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): Nagarjuna is one the prominent actors of the Telugu film industry, who has also enacted characters praiseworthily in some Hindi and Tamil films of the past. His Hindi films have been appreciated ones largely such as Khuda Gawah, Criminal, Shiva, Drohi, etc. The list of his Telugu motion pictures includes Santosham, Ninne Pelladutha, Nuvvu Vastavani, etc. The percentage of the success of his Telugu films has been astonishingly high.

Nagarjuna is probably the solitary hero in the Telugu film industry, who has continuously managed to maintain a robust and athletic physique in the preceding 20 years. Nagarjuna is regarded by his Telugu aficionados and some reviewers of Telugu movies as the Emperor of the Telugu film world. Nagarjuna is not a youngster anymore and is a veteran actor of the Telugu film fraternity. However, regardless of his age, which is in the 50s, he continues to possess a fit faade, which enables him to compete effectively against any of the younger heroes of the Telugu movies such as Sumanth, Ram Charan Teja, and Naga Chaitanya, who is Nagarjunas son.

Unsurprisingly, news has emerged that Nagarjuna is now exercising faithfully in the gymnasium to develop the coveted six pack abs for his impending socio-fantasy movie, Dhamarukam, in which the female protagonist is Anushka. Dhamarukam has been directed by Srinivasa Reddy and has been financed by Venkat of RR Movie Makers.

Reddy has voiced that Nagarjunas character in Dhamarukam necessitates a hero with a chiseled physique that exudes machismo. Nagarjuna is exerting himself dutifully to construct these six pack abs. As per his bodily instructors, it would be pretty difficult, but not improbable, for Nagarjuna to develop the six pack abs at this age. Time will exhibit whether Nagarjuna has been able to fashion these abs or not. But he needs to bequeathed colossal credit for his dedication and his undying energy even at this age.

Tollywood is the colloquial name for the Telugu film industry akin to Bollywood for the Hindi movie industry and Kollywood for the Tamil film community.
