Throwback To When Hi Nanna Fame Nani Opened Up About His First Salary In Film Industry

While Nani is now a celebrated figure in the industry, his journey to stardom was filled with challenges and perseverance.

In a candid moment, Nani reminisced about his early days in the film industry and the joy of receiving his first paycheck as an assistant director. He vividly recalled the excitement of earning Rs 4000 and the sense of accomplishment it brought him.

During an interview, Nani shared the story of his first salary. “As an assistant director my first salary was Rs 4000. It was given to me in 100 rupee notes, and I remember feeling them in my pocket as I rode my bike back home. I felt so wealthy that I imagined buying half of Hyderabad,” he said with a smile.

Despite earning much more in his career since then, Nani confessed that no amount of money has ever matched the happiness he felt upon receiving that Rs 4000. He also fondly recalled how he and his friends would eagerly anticipate their Saturday trips to a local dhaba, a tradition that brought him immense joy throughout the week.
