He looked confident and relaxed.

There was no tension or anxiety on his handsome visage.

But if you are Nagarjuna, you can afford to be. He betrayed no restless about the fate of his new movie Mass (Dammunte Kasko) which is almost complete and ready for release next month.

"It is a mass film with a new treatment," he said.

"I play the character named Mass and is up against two villains Rahul Dev and Raghuvaran".

Nagarjuna had no misgivings about having to work with a new director. "He (Lawrence) is a bundle of energy. He is lively and has a way with dance and fight sequences,".

Lawrence, the dance master turned director, was also happy for his part. Nags never put on any airs and was always helpful all through the shoot, he said.

The postive vibes were overflowing. If that is the criteria for a hit, then Mass is even before its release.

The film is slated for release on 23 December.
