It was with the film 'Jayam' that Nithiin made an acting debut way back in 2002. It has exactly been twenty years since he started shooting for his maiden venture. 'Jayam', which had Sadaf as the heroine, fetched the then budding actor a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut – South.

On Tuesday, the 'Check' and 'Rang De' actor got nostalgic. He wrote that time has just flown by. "20 years ago on this very same day on February 22nd 2002 at 2.22 PM, the muhurtham of 'Jayam' was held. Time just flew!! Thank you all for your unconditional love and support guys!! (sic)," the actor tweeted.

He also wished his director Teja a happy birthday. "And here's wishing my director TEJA sir a very happy birthday and thank you soo much for launching me as an actor," the 'Macherla Niyojakavargam' star wrote.

His next movie, 'Macherla Niyojakavargam', is directed by MS Raja Shekhar Reddy. Produced by Sreshth Movies' Sudhakar Reddy and Nikitha Reddy, Krithi Shetty and Catherine Tresa are its heroines.
