Jayammu Nischayammu Raa is ZEE5’s new talk show that has become a topic of discussion all over. The show is done with two episodes already, and the likes of Nagarjuna and Sree Leela have already graced it. Things have taken a next-level turn, as none other than natural star Nani has graced the show in the third episode, now streaming on OTTplay Premium.

Jagapathi Babu calls rejecting Nani's Jersey a massive regret

Jagapathi Babu complimented Nani for the roles he is doing these days and spoke about rejecting his film Jersey, which was a big hit at the box office. “When Jersey was offered to me, I did not like the role and felt that the story would be routine and the film would end as a flop. Only when the film was released did I realize what kind of role I missed out on in my career. I had just started playing character roles and felt that this would be a very routine character for me, but when the film became such a hit, I bit my hands in regret and promised myself that whenever I am offered any Nani film, I will not even ask for the story and will end up doing it.”
