Recently during the media interaction Naga Chaitanya talked about portraying his grandfather, the legendary ANR garu in Mahanati. He said, “When Nag Ashwin contacted me regarding ANR role in Mahanati, I was very nervous and not ready to play the role of my grandfather, Akkineni Nageswar Rao, in Mahanati because I feared that I couldn’t do justice.  I gave several excuses to the director but finally Nag Ashwin convinced me about the role.  It  has hardly two minutes screen time.”

Watch the video to know more #Mahanati.” After the release of Mahanati, Akkineni Nagarjuna also praised his son Naga Chaitanya and wrote on the wall of twitter, “Am today a proud father and a jealous son. I never played my father legendary #ANR Garu. But, I am overwhelmed and very happy to present to you all, Chay as ANR in #Mahanati”
