Nithiin is a proud and happy man. With 'Bheeshma' becoming a runaway hit, the actor is elated and also emotional.

Speaking today at the success meet of the rom-com, he said that he was wearing goggles during the event so that nobody notices the tears in his eyes. "I am getting emotional and covering it up with goggles. Thanks to Venky Kudumula (director), I have tasted success after four years. This film has come as an answer (to my detractors). If my performance in the film has come in for praise, it's because of the way Venky made me enact the scenes," Nithiin said.

He thanked music director Mahathi Swara Sagar and co-star Rashmika Mandanna, too, on the occasion. The film also stars Vennela Kishore, Jisshu Sengupta, Anant Nag and Sampath Raj.

'Bheeshma' has been endorsed by Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun.
