Virat Karrna shines in Nagabandham, calling it a life-changing gift
Virat Karrna, the lead actor of Nagabandham, has described the film as a tremendous blessing, crediting both director Abhishek Nama and Lord Shiva for this milestone in his career. The film has generated substantial buzz, with its promotional content resonating strongly among audiences and helping cement its status as one of the season’s most anticipated releases.
Virat, who has been on an impressive trajectory as a rising star, spoke candidly about the physical and mental demands of his role. He revealed undergoing a dramatic transformation, gaining 20 kilos and then shedding 5 kilos to portray different looks. Despite suffering a serious muscle tear during training and enduring frost bites while filming in harsh conditions, Virat remained fully committed to the project. He shared, “Abhishek trusted in me and guided me throughout.”
Deeply immersing himself in the film’s spiritual core, Virat performed daily Abhishekam at a Shiva temple before shooting and observed the sacred Shiva Mala, channeling the character’s essence. He praised producer duo Nishitha Nagireddy and Kishore Annapureddy for backing Abhishek’s grand vision, stating they “trusted his flawless epic vision.”
With Nagabandham set for a grand Pan-India release on July 3rd, advance bookings are reportedly strong across Telugu States and beyond. Virat expressed his hope that “audiences will fall in love with Nagabandham as much as they did while making it.” Fans can look forward to witnessing this spiritual epic unfold soon on the big screen.
