Poster Boy of Romance

THE ROMANTIC TELUGU HERO NAGA SHAURYA WILL SOON BE SEEN IN A COMEDY FILM

- Rajeshwari Kalyanam

There are a few actors who are termed as dependable ones in the film industry - they come with minimum guarantee of success thanks to their loyal fan base, and they are in most cases director's actors, who walk through the film with practiced ease. One such Telugu film actor, who is unhurried in his approach to cinema, committed to acting, who grabs every opportunity with zeal, and gives his 100 percent each and every time is Naga Shaurya.

His good boy next door looks made him an obvious fit for breezy romances. His desire to do different cinema brought him offers like 'Aswathama' and 'Lakshya'. The first one a thriller and the second - a sports film based on archery where Shaurya gets to portray the journey of a boy with dreams to make it big in sports, and his growth into a man with a target towards success - four different stages of life, which he convincingly shows by sporting different looks and bringing in the emotions and intensity to each of these portrayals. 'Lakshya' and a romantic film with Ritu Verma in the lead 'Varudu Kavalenu' were both released just after the lockdowns, and despite a notso-great response in theatres - were lapped up by the OTT audience.
