This South actor was labelled as a flop star, despite his father and mother being a pan-India actor. The family has been in the news lately after his elder brother parted ways from his wife in 2021. Can you guess, who this actor is?
Well, we are talking about the Akkineni family. Nagarjuna is one of the biggest superstars in the Telugu industry and has given several blockbuster films.

He debuted as a child artist in the film Sisindri in 1994 and won a Filmfare Special Award. The movie was based on ‘Baby’s Day Out’. Later, he made his debut as a lead actor which made him win the Filmfare Best Male Debut. The action film was directed by VV Vinayak and was co-produced by actor Nithiin. The movie flopped and was made on a budget of Rs 50 crore and it earned Rs 33.65 crore.
