Nagarjuna Akkineni is turning 62 this Sunday. His reputation spans across languages and he’s known for selecting experimental movies and scripts. He debuted with Vikram in 1986 and 35 years later, he is still one of the top stars in Telugu cinema. With his successful collaborations with directors Ram Gopal Varma and Mahesh Bhatt, Nagarjuna has also made his name in Bollywood with Criminal, Shiva, etc.

The actor is currently working on Bangarraju with Kalyan Krishna, an untitled action film with Praveen Sattaru and has shot for Brahmastra, for which he's teaming up with Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor. This would also mark the actor’s second venture with Amitabh Bachchan after Khuda Gawah.

On his birthday, OTTplay recommends his career-best hits that you could enjoy:

1

Geetanjali

5.9
This Mani Ratnam movie deserves credit for making Nagarjuna a romantic hero. Nagarjuna played a terminally ill Prakash who runs away to Ooty to wait for his end, only to fall in love with an ill girl. The movie reiterates that all humans will die one day and should strive to be happy, make others happy while they're alive. Nagarjuna is at his best depicting a happy youth whose life and hopes are overturned one fine day and is left in despair.

Hello Brother

7.3
The movie is credited as the inspiration behind the Bollywood superhit Judwaa, starring Salman Khan. The movie stars Nagarjuna in dual roles as identical twins who are separated at birth. While one grows up rich and becomes a rockstar, the other is a street ruffian. The movie proved the actor’s impeccable comic timing as a timid rockstar and was praised as a fine blend of humour and fast-paced action.

Santosham

6.9
This family drama starred Nagarjuna and Shriya Saran and helped the actor become a family favourite among family audiences. The movie featured Nagarjuna as Karthik, a widower and single father for whom Shriya Saran’s character falls for. Nagarjuna’s performance as a single father coping with his wife’s sudden demise, his struggle to love another girl and his reluctance in hurting the family was appreciated. The movie won Nandi Awards under the Best Actor and Best Director categories.

Manmadhudu

8.1
Nagarjuna plays a failed lover turned woman-hater in this rom-com. He plays a youth who still hasn’t gotten over the loss of his love and turns that grief into childish and funny antics in the movie. The movie became a commercial hit owing to the perfect concoction of romance and family sentiments in the story. A sequel named Manmadhudu 2 was released in 2019 with Nagarjuna reprising his role as a reluctant bachelor.

Mass

6.8
Nagarjuna stars as Mass/Ganesh in pursuit of his best friend Adi’s killers in this action drama. The movie also marks the directorial debut of actor-director Raghava Lawrence. The movie had a mass opening and proved his mettle as an action star. After the success of Mass, Raghava Lawrence and Nagarjuna collaborated for Don, but the movie failed to live up to the expectations of audiences.
