Sagar, a popular household name in Telugu households thanks to his television roles in serials like Chakravakam and Mogilirekulu, is returning to the silver screen. Known for his iconic role as RK Naidu in Mogilirekulu, Sagar is now gearing up for his next big-screen outing, The 100.
Sagar made his debut as a lead actor in the 2016 film Siddhartha and The 100 marks his second film in a lead role. Ministers Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and Sridhar Babu attended the film’s pre-release event held in Hyderabad. Earlier, Pawan Kalyan launched the trailer and many celebrities have extended their support for the film.
“To reach a larger audience, I requested Pawan Kalyan to launch the trailer and he agreed and did so,” said Sagar. He further added that he showed the film to former Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu, who appreciated it. “He gave his blessings,” Sagar shared.
The actor also heaped praise on the film’s director, Sashi. “He is a passionate director and with this film, he’s going places. After hearing the story, I was excited to show it to the audience as early as possible,” said Sagar.
Describing the film’s concept, he said, “For every Yuga, one weapon emerges to save the world—Rama Banam in Treta Yuga, Sudarshana Chakra in Dwapara Yuga and now in Kali Yuga, it’s The 100. Everyone should watch this film.” He further added that while it’s a commercial entertainer, it also carries strong family emotions.
