Nithiin, who aspired to become an actor after watching 'Toli Prema', has been partnering with Pawan Kalyan for quite some time now. Last year, Powerstar, Trivikram Srinivas and Sreshth Movies launched a movie in their joint production with Nithiin as the hero.

Even as the Krishna Chaitanya movie is yet to be shot, the actor's home movie production-distribution house Sreshth Movies has laid its hands on the distribution rights of 'Katamarayudu' for Nizam territory, in association with Asian Films. This is a major market and given the craze around the March release, it means they have struck gold.

Recently, Nithiin was in news when controversy broke out after he tweeted that Katamarayudu is the one and only Rayudu, regardless of how many other Rayudus there may be. He had to apologize for unwittingly hurting the fans/followers of "other great artistes" when Lakshmi Manchu found fault with his tweet.
