Sye is a hit. But it is also history. Nitin knows this. That is why he is giving an extra push to his performance in Teja's Dhairiyam.

Nitin knows the importance of following a hit with another hit --- it quickly makes you a star from a mere hero.

In Dhairiyam, Nitin is cast as a youth on the streets. It has neither the cultured style nor the cultivated classicism of the hero of Sye. So Nitin is straining every muscle in his body to get the nuance right.

To start with he is getting his tongue work overtime. Nitin plays a youth who has to speak the Telengana dialect. Obviously this didn't come naturally to this Hyderabad lad. So he took extra lessons to get the diction right.

Dhairiyam has Raima Sen as the heroine.

With Nitin working overtime to mind his language, the audience will hopefully click their tongues in approval.
