In an interview, he opened up about growing up as a fan of late Sridevi and how watching her in Ram Gopal Varma’s Kshana Kshanam (1991) still feels unreal to him.

Talking to Times of India, Nani spoke about his dream date and the impact of Sridevi on his life while growing. “My dream date would definitely be Sridevi ma’am, but unfortunately, she is not alive today. Growing up, I was a huge fan of Sridevi. I am a big fan of hers even today. Watching her in the film, Kshana Kshanam in Telugu still feels unreal to me, even today,” he said.

As part of the chat, he agreed that Dharani was the most challenging character of his career. Nani is going pan-India as the film is releasing in multiple languages.
