Nagarjuna about ANR

I want his last film Manam to be a befitting send-off to a man who was much more than just a father to me. - Akkineni Nagarjuna

He was on the sets of Manam when he collapsed. When they opened him up he was in the 5th stage of cancer.

Until then he was in the pink of health. The film spans a period from 1920 to 2013. My father plays a 90-year old. Except that incomplete song he completed all the shooting.

Fifteen days after surgery he was at home in bed when he said, ‘Bring all the dubbing equipment and do my dubbing for Manam before I get worse, or you will get a mimicry artiste to do my dubbing.’

He made sure we he completed the film. It’s now being released on March 31st !
