Nagarjuna Presents 'Itllu Arjuna', Calls It a Modern 'Kshana Kshanam'

Nagarjuna has stepped forward to present the upcoming Telugu film 'Itllu Arjuna', starring Aniesh and Anaswara Rajan, which is set to release in theatres on October 30, 2026. Known for his keen eye for unique scripts, Nagarjuna recently expressed his enthusiasm for the project at a press event, highlighting the film's vibrant energy and drawing comparisons to his own classics like 'Kshana Kshanam' and 'Ninne Pelladutha'.

Aniesh, making his debut in a challenging mute role, stars opposite Anaswara Rajan. Their on-screen chemistry has already generated buzz, amplified by S Thaman's music and the film's teaser. Nagarjuna, after watching the film, decided to present it under the Annapurna Studios banner. He stated, "I am proud and happy to be associated with Itllu Arjuna. I watched and loved it, then decided to present it on our Annapurna Studios."

He further praised the performances, saying, "The movie has a very youthful energy and it has Kshana Kshanam, Ninne Pelladutha vibe. Aniesh and Anaswara Rajan performance amazed me. Mainly, in a mute character, he excelled beyond my expectations. Producer Venky Kudumula’s belief on content and Mahesh Uppala’s execution impressed me completely."

Nagarjuna also mentioned being particularly moved by the way Arjuna, the lead character, expresses his love for Keerthi. With the film's release approaching, Nagarjuna's endorsement and the positive response to the music and teaser have heightened anticipation among Telugu cinema fans.
