Nani Challenges Tollywood Norms: Tollywood’s Natural Star Nani is redefining his career by embracing age-appropriate roles. In an industry where star heroes often stick to youthful, larger-than-life characters, Nani is setting himself apart by choosing roles that resonate with his stage in life and offer emotional depth.
The profession of Nani is a display of his professionalism towards realism. In the universally acclaimed sports drama Jersey (2019), Nani gave an emotional performance depicting a middle-aged father fighting over his personal setbacks to return to cricket. Jersey was a well-received move by the viewers, and here, Nani also proved himself successful in playing offbeat, suitable-for-age kinds of roles.
Therefore, Nani is seen in Hi Nanna as he plays the character of a father who ventures into a maze of emotional relationships and is full of maturity and sensibility. The theme of the film itself gives us a hint as to how Nani does not want to stoop to the level of clichéd characterisation of Tollywood.
In his upcoming film HIT 3, Nani will be playing a man in his 40s role, and he is among the interesting thriller storyline. His experimentation with an age-character is the right move in the context of his approach towards growth as an actor, where realism and characterisation are given more importance than heroism in the traditional sense.
Typically, Tollywood performers have gained mass popularity by performing youth or action roles way deep in their senility. Nani is breaking this mould, though, by instead opting to perform characters that embody global conflict and emotional complexity.

This risk-taking attempt is appreciated all the more by the public searching for realistic stories and showcases how versatile Nani is when adapting to changes according to the times. In depicting more realistic characters, he demonstrates how versatile he is and strengthens his name with the top artists in Tollywood.
Nani choice of age-sensitive roles not only marks the beginning of his career as an actor but also marks the beginning of a cultural shift in Tollywood. Actors and directors are encouraged by his professional choices to opt for motivating scripts rather than the conventional formulas.
With Jersey, Hi Nanna, and HIT 3, Nani is showing Telugu heroes that they can also age on screen without losing the punch. His focus on realism and ageing is creating a new trend for Telugu cinema.
