Nikhil Kumar, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and son of former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy, is debuting as a hero in the Rs. 75-cr Jaguar. The Telugu version's teaser of this big-ticket film was released yesterday in the presence of Tollywood personalities like KS Rama Rao, Allu Aravind, D Suresh Babu, T Subbirami Reddy and others. Jagapathi Babu has an important role in this one.

Speaking at the function, Nikhil shared an anecdote. "When we went to writer Vijayendra Prasad garu's house to meet him, he assured dad that he will look after me as his son. It de-stressed me. The director A Mahadev worked on the script for one year. Thaman has give fantastic music. My dad has been working hard on the film. I hope the Telugu audiences will like Jaguar", he said.

Kumaraswamy said that he was very happy that Jaguar's function was being held in the presence of so many Telugu industry stalwarts. "I look up to Raj Kumar, Vishnuvardhan, NTR and ANR. As a distributor, I have distributed about 100 movies. As a producer, I have made six movies. An actor shouldn't be constrained by linguistic boundaries. If we have made this film on this big a scale in both Telugu and Kannada, it's because of Vijayendra Prasad. We wanted to make it in Kannada only. But he told us why we shouldn't make it in both the languages. From now on, we will definitely make a Telugu-Kannada bi-lingual a year. Jaguar will be the year's best film", he said.
