Nagarjuna as a Lord Jesus?




According to grapevine, versatile actor Nagarjuna is once again gearing up for a devotional role. After his successful stint in Annamayya, Sri Rama Dasu and Shirdi Sai, Nagarjuna this time is contemplating to play Lord Jesus Christ on screen. The movie would be directed by none other than master K. Raghavendra Rao. However, nothing has been finalized yet and the project is in nascent phase.

It is learnt that the film is under scripting stage and efforts are under way that the film would highlight less-known facts about Christ and his life. We hear that this movie would stand out from previous Christ films and the veteran director and actor are planning to make this film on par with global standards.

After Shirdi Sai, Nag returned to regular commercial movies with Bhai. With the disaster show of the movie, he is choosing wise scripts and staying away from experiments. But it is heard that after a lot of mulling over, Nag opted to play Lord Jesus as he has a lot of confidence on director Raghavendra Rao. No doubt, it's tough task for Nag as naturally comparisons would arise with actor Vijaychander who essayed Jesus' role in Karunamayudu.
