Nag Ashwin Responds to Nani-VD Fan Wars
Social media fan wars between followers of top actors are common, but the recent clash between Nani and VD fans has gained significant attention. Unlike typical online debates that fade away in a few days, this particular fan war has continued for weeks, fueling heated discussions among cinephiles.
Addressing this ongoing topic, director Nag Ashwin, who worked with both actors in Yevade Subramanyam, shared his insights during a media interaction ahead of the film’s re-release on March 21.
Nani’s Strong Support for Vijay During Yevade Subramanyam
Nag Ashwin revealed that he was unaware of the fan clashes but took the opportunity to praise Nani’s support for Vijay Deverakonda during the making of Yevade Subramanyam.
“During the shoot, Nani was highly supportive of Vijay. They would discuss every scene together and worked in a highly collaborative manner,” Nag Ashwin shared.
This statement highlights the positive bond between the two actors, despite the ongoing fan wars suggesting otherwise.
Will Nag Ashwin Direct Another Film with Nani and VD?
When asked about the possibility of bringing Nani and Vijay together in another film, Nag Ashwin was skeptical.
He stated that attempting a similar story to Yevade Subramanyam in today’s time might not have the same impact. However, he did hint at a potential remake of the film, suggesting that Naveen Polishetty could a strong contender to play Nani’s role, while a new face would be required for Vijay’s character.
This speculation has sparked discussions among fans, with many wondering if a modern adaptation of Yevade Subramanyam could resonate with today’s audience.
Final Thoughts: Friendship Over Fan Wars
Despite the ongoing social media clashes, Nag Ashwin’s statements reinforce that there is no real rivalry between Nani and Vijay Deverakonda. The director’s fond memories of their collaboration show that the two actors share mutual respect and a strong working relationship.
As Yevade Subramanyam gears up for a grand re-release on March 21, fans will get a chance to relive the magic of this classic film. Meanwhile, it remains to seen if Nag Ashwin will ever bring Nani and Vijay together on-screen again!
