Hero Nani is enjoying a successful streak with his recent films. Dussehra has become his highest-grossing film, while Hi Nanna also performed well despite a slow start. Hi Nanna, directed by Vivek Atreya and set for a worldwide release on August 29, is Nani's second collaboration with Atreya, following the less successful Sundarani. Nani's faith in Atreya’s talent has led him to give this new project a chance.

In a recent interview, Nani shared his thoughts on Superstar Mahesh Babu’s approach to Pan India films. He acknowledged Mahesh Babu’s strategy of launching a major Pan India film, especially with the upcoming Rajamouli project. Nani contrasted this with his strategy, which focuses on gradually expanding his audience. He emphasized that while Mahesh Babu’s method suits his established star status, his approach is to build his audience incrementally, even in the Pan India market. Nani’s comments on this topic have been widely shared.
