Nagarjuna Akkineni reviews Karthi’s Satyam Sundaram; says brought back memories of Oopiri

As a long-time follower of Tamil cinema and a dedicated admirer of Nagarjuna Akkineni, I must say that his recent shoutout to Karthi for the film Sathyam Sundaram was a heartwarming moment for me. Having grown up watching Nagarjuna’s movies and even having the privilege of witnessing him in action in the movie Oopiri, it felt like a full-circle moment when he appreciated Karthi’s performance in Sathyam Sundaram.


The movie “Meiyazhagan,” featuring Karthi and Arvind Swami, has been touching many hearts and receiving widespread acclaim. Notably, it’s also known as “Sathyam Sundaram” in Telugu. This captivating drama is masterfully directed by the renowned duo Suriya and Jyothika. Lately, the film, particularly Karthi’s performance, has garnered a significant endorsement from superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni.

In a heartfelt post shared on his account (previously Twitter), Nagarjuna Akkineni expressed his thoughts after watching the movie Sathyam Sundaram. He specifically praised Karthi and Arvind Swami for delivering exceptional performances that kept him smiling consistently during the viewing.

In addition, the Yuva Samrat shared that as he watched it, he wasn’t just reminded of his childhood, but also of the period when he collaborated with Karthi on the 2016 movie, Oopiri.

Nagarjuna expressed, “Dear brother Karthi, I saw your film #SatyamSundaram last night!! You and Arvind ji were just too too good… I had a smile throughout watching you and went to sleep with the same smile… Brought back so many childhood memories… and also memories of our film #oopiri. I’m so happy that people and the critics are appreciating such heart warming, Films!! kudos to the entire team!!!”

Shortly thereafter, Karthi too acknowledged the shoutout given to his movie by Nagarjuna. He shared his delight as his dedicated effort was praised with kind words by the esteemed veteran actor.

He expressed his gratitude saying, “I’m deeply thankful to you, @iamnagarjuna annayya. Hearing your kind words makes us overjoyed, knowing that you enjoyed the movie. Your love for quality films consistently motivates us to aim for greatness.

In a chat with YouWe Media, actor Karthi shared his experience when he took on the lead role in Meiyazhagan, revealing how his brother and film producer, Suriya, responded to this decision.

Karthi disclosed that the actor from Kanguva took great delight in the process of making the film and played an active role throughout its entire creation, starting with reading the script and ending with viewing the movie on the big screen.

The actor reminisced, ‘Suriya was overjoyed with the movie’s final result. He inquired about where I get these scripts, and he even phoned the director to discuss the film after viewing it.’
