Nagarjuna also remembers the times he talked with his dad and the famous star Akkineni Nageshwar Rao. “It’s been 35 years and one day since the famous #shiva came out!! “I will never forget that day when my dad, Anr garu, and I were driving in the car and he said, “I saw Shiva last night and heard it’s a big hit this morning. But I think it will become one of the biggest hits in Telugu film history!!” He wrote on X.

“Nana, your words were so very true. Thank you for all the love you still have for Shiva after all these years! It was possible because of many people, especially @RGVzoomin, he said.

RGV replied to his post and thanked him for being his first break. “Thank you for giving me the BEST BREAK OF MY LIFE.””There would have been no Shiva or me without your unwavering support and trust in me,” he wrote.
