Nagarjuna on the pandemic: I have learnt a lot of patience and humility

The pandemic has changed the lives of many people, and that includes celebrities as well. South star Nagarjuna recently spoke about how things have changed for him during the pandemic.

While talking to Hindustan Times, he said, “I have learnt a lot of patience and humility. And coronavirus has taught me, ‘Don’t think you are too big, you can anytime get wiped out’. In fact, the whole world can be wiped out. So, don’t think you are someone big and won’t get affected.”


“Since long, I have been working continuously and had never stopped to look at that. And in these past few months, everything came to a stop. And it was good,” he added.

During this pandemic, streaming platforms in the country have got a boom, and Nagarjuna feels that it will be helpful to many filmmakers.

He said, “Now, all kinds of films will see the light. Some films are made and they never release. They either don’t find buyers or even if they are released in theatre, nobody come to watch it. But on OTT, they will probably watch that film.”

The actor, who was last seen in Wild Dog which was released in April this year, will also be making his digital debut soon. While talking about it, he said, “I like the idea which is being developed, and I would love to do it. Also, because it’s a new platform for me. We can experiment. We can go a little overboard, which we can’t do in a film.”

Talking about his upcoming movies, Nagarjuna will next be seen in Brahmastra which will mark his comeback in Bollywood after a gap of 18 years.

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
