EXCLUSIVE: Nani on Amitabh Bachchan: “What all the CGI in Kalki can’t do…”

By ctv 2 Min Read
Natural Star Nani is preparing for the release of his upcoming film, *Surya’s Saturday*. Directed by Vivek Athreya, the movie also stars S. J. Suryah and Priyanka Mohan, among others. In this film, Nani portrays an Angry Young Man in a literal sense. In an exclusive chat with *Filmfare*, Nani expressed his admiration for Amitabh Bachchan.
When asked about the Bollywood icon, Nani stated, “I find inspiration in him in countless ways. I’m sure many actors feel the same. As for the Angry Young Man persona, it’s a once-in-a-century revelation that such a unique actor comes along. Bachchan sir is simply magnetic on screen.”

He further commended Bachchan’s performance in Nag Ashwin’s *Kalki 2898 AD*, saying, “While the film showcases incredible CGI, stirring background music, and remarkable world-building, it’s when he appears and utters a single word that it truly resonates with you. That’s the hallmark of a phenomenal actor. His voice coupled with his presence creates an unbeatable combination. You feel an intrinsic connection to him, even without knowing him personally. Few actors evoke such feelings.”

Reflecting on a previous conversation where his *Surya’s Saturday* co-star S.J. Suryah compared him to the Bollywood legend, he remarked, “When Suryah Garu likened me to him, I felt incredibly honored. He is a cinematic legend, while I’ve only been in this industry for 16 years. I can’t express how happy I am to have received such a compliment.”

*Surya’s Saturday* is set to release on August 29, 2024.
