Nagarjuna is on cloud nine with his latest flick ���Rajanna��� not only doing well at the box office, but also garnering much critical acclaim. The ecstatic actor was in Kasi recently, where he visited the famous Lord Shiva temple. ���I went to Kasi for the shoot of ���Damarukam���, after which I visited the temple. I did an abhishekam there and had a great time as the place has a beautiful atmosphere,��� says Nagarjuna.
This is the actor���s first visit to Kasi. ���I always wanted to come here, but somehow it never happened,��� says Nagarjuna, who is saddened by the state of the river Ganga. ���I visited the Ghats and they are in very bad situation. The government should do something to clean the river,��� he says.
���Damarukam��� is a socio-fantasy film about Lord Shiva. Apart from Kasi, the movie has been shot in the famous tourist spot, Badami too. ���The place stands testimony to our ancient heritage and the art work and sculptures in the temples beautifully reflect the Hindu culture,��� he says.
Ask the actor if he visits temples regularly and Nagarjuna reveals that him and wife Amala are more spiritual than religious. ���We don���t do pujas everyday in the morning. But I believe in temples, because I can feel a sense of power and peace when I visit them. Humans are so egoistic and when we visit temples and do namaskarams, our egos are forced to bow down and we feel humbled,��� says Nagarjuna.
After his film,, ���Annamayya���, the actor began to visit Tirupathi, twice a year. Nagarjuna has also recently visited Shirdi, as he is playing Shirdi Sai Baba in his upcoming film.
