Nagarjuna Akkineni and the entire Akkineni family have been making quite the buzz recently after the ANR National Award ceremony. The event hosted by Nagarjuna Akkineni saw Megastar Chiranjeevi receive the award this year. Making things more special, the award was presented to the Megastar by Amitabh Bachchan.

Coming to the work front, Nagarjuna Akkineni was last seen in the film Naa Saami Ranga, directed by choreographer-turned-director Vijay Binni in his debut venture. The period drama movie was the official Telugu remake of the 2019 Malayalam movie Porinju Mariam Jose featuring Allari Naresh, Raj Tarun, Ashika Ranganath, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Mirnaa Menon, Rukshar Dhillon, and Nassar in prominent roles.

The actor is next set to feature in the Dhanush starrer movie Kubera, helmed by Sekhar Kammula. The upcoming movie is expected to be a drama flick which is set to unveil its teaser on November 15th, 2024. The official confirmation of the same was made by the makers themselves, unveiling an intriguing poster featuring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna.

Moreover, the actor will next also be seen in the film called Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth. The action flick in the making also has Upendra Rao playing a key role with an additional cast of actors like Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj.

On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya is also currently in the works of his next movie Thandel, directed by Chandoo Mondeti. The film has the actor playing the role of a man from the fishing community and also has Sai Pallavi as the female lead.

Netizens have been pitting Anyone But You actress Sydney Sweeney and Millie Bobby Brown against each other for the coveted role of portraying pop sensation Britney Spears in her biopic. The fact that the actresses are ranked next to each other on the list of highest-paid under-30 stars has further fueled the debate. Interestingly, Brown, the founder of Florence by Mills, has openly expressed her desire to play the role.

In 2022, during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Brown shared how much she admired the Gimme More singer and said that portraying Spears would be a dream come true.

“I want to play a real person, and I think for me, it would be Britney Spears,” she said at the time. “Her story resonates with me. Growing up in the public eye. Watching her videos, watching interviews when she was younger … I see the scramble for words,” she added.

However, netizens believe that Sweeney might be better suited for the role and would nail the dramatic side of Spears’ story. Sweeney has already proven her versatility by playing unique characters, from Euphoria’s Cassie to The White Lotus’s Olivia. Fans are convinced that Sweeney would leave no stone unturned in her portrayal of the pop star.
