Here's why we love birthday boy Nani

Actor Nani celebrates his birthday today (February 24). The actor made his Tollywood debut in 2008 with 'Ashta Chamma' where he played Rambabu. He is one of those rare actors in our industry, who does a great job at the movies, and leaves a huge impact. Nani is called the Natural Star for a reason. Well, his genuine performances are surely one of the reasons. His smile has all our hearts. He has a massive fan following, and today on his birthday, we tell you what makes fans love the actor.

​Versatile actor

Nani has played so many different characters on-screen. Many people come to Tollywood to try their luck, however, very few are successful in leaving a lasting impression on the audience with their outstanding performances. Nani is one of them, who has stunned the audience with his performances. Be it a Kabbadi player Suribabu, innocent Gautam, wealthy man Praveen Jayaramaraju, student Varun Krishna, absent-minded junior botanist Lucky, love failure guy Uma Maheswara Rao or a family man, Arjun, Nani has been spectacular in every performance.

Crackling chemistry

Nani can look good with any actress. We have seen his crackling chemistry with all his co-stars be it Nithya Menen, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Lavanya Tripathi, Sai Pallavi, Krithi Shetty or Nivetha Thomas. His chemistry with them was loved by the fans. He has made every love story look beautiful, real and relatable with his performance. Maybe it was his natural charisma or the script’s demands, whatever it was, Nani set the screen ablaze with his chemistry with the co-stars.

​Boy-next-door looks

There's no denying the fact that the actor is insanely good looking. He made his career with his boy-next-door image. Handsome and approachable, the actor with his boy-next-door image makes the audience swoon with his big smile and charming screen presence. His smile is amazing and anyone can fall for him. He is seen wearing simple outfits but looks handsome in them. We have also seen him in traditional outfits and he slays them with his dashing looks onscreen as well as offscreen.

​Coming timing

Nani has been known for his romantic comedy entertainers. He became popular in the world of comedy with Ashta Chamma and then there was no turning back. He made the mark as a comic actor with his films, 'Ala Modalaindi,' 'Pilla Zamindar,' 'Yevade Subramanyam,' 'Bhale Bhale Magadivoy,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Majnu,' 'Middle Class Abbayi' and more. Then, he became the next big thing in Tollywood. Nani became the first choice for most filmmakers not only in romantic dramas but also in comic roles.

​Noncontroversial actor

Nani is a perfect family man who has never got into media scrapes or controversies. In this world of haters, venom-spewing trolls on social media, it is difficult to maintain calm but Nani has always managed to do it gracefully. He has defeated all the odds to become what he is today. Ever since he has embarked on his path to stardom, Nani has earned a massive fan following in Telugu states.
