Nani feels being loud, over-the-top is not real acting

There was a time when Natural Star Nani used to be fond of over-the-top acting.  Not anymore.  ‘Jersey’ has admittedly taught him what “real acting” is.  

Speaking to Film Companion more than a year after ‘Jersey’ hit the screens, the versatile actor says, “You had to be loud and over the top for an act to be called a great performance. If a guy was playing a loser and sitting silently, it would never be considered a great performance. It’s only after ‘Jersey’ that I understood what real acting is.”

The film, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, has changed the way the ‘MCA’ and ‘Nenu Local’ actor looks at movies. “Now that I have tasted a special feeling, I have an inclination only towards ‘Jersey’ kind of films,” he confesses.  

The family-sports drama is being remade in Hindi with Shahid Kapoor reprising the ‘Yevade Subrahmanyam’ star.  Master Ronit is reprising himself in this 2021 release.
