Veteran Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has always chosen to avoid negative roles and prefers to play positive characters. This decision is based on his desire to maintain a positive image and appeal to his loyal fan base.
One notable instance was when Nagarjuna was considered for the role of Arvind Swamy in Dhruva, the Telugu remake of the Tamil film Thani Oruvan, starring Ram Charan. Director Surender Reddy approached Nagarjuna with the idea of playing a stylish villain with a unique portrayal. However, Nagarjuna turned down the offer, staying true to his preference for positive roles.
Similarly, a few days back, director Lokesh Kanagaraj reportedly offered Nagarjuna a negative role in the upcoming film Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth.
