Nagarjuna on the ‘1000 Cr Club’: “Records Are Temporary, I Don’t Chase Numbers Anymore”
In an industry obsessed with box-office numbers, veteran actor Nagarjuna has taken a grounded stance. At a time when filmmakers and stars are fixated on entering the 1000-crore club, Nagarjuna says he’s no longer interested in chasing records.
“Records Are Temporary, and I’ve Seen Them Come and Go.”
In a recent interview, when asked if he felt the pressure to join the ranks of stars with 1000 Cr or 1500 Cr blockbusters, Nagarjuna responded:
“I never got stuck in these numbers. These numbers are temporary. It is 1000 now, and two years later it will be 2000. If you look at my earlier films, I had so many records. Every film’s record was broken. So, it doesn’t matter after a while.”
Nagarjuna added that chasing numbers no longer drives him, and he is now more inclined toward experimenting with unique and impactful roles.

In 2024, he’s coming back strong with two major releases:
