If someone asks about Ram Charan’s best-known films, RRR, Magadheera and Rangasthalam would naturally come up. However, his wife Upasana Konidela has a completely different favourite. When Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh asked her to name her top pick among Ram Charan’s movies, she surprised everyone by choosing Nayak.
The light-hearted exchange took place during the 31st CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam on November 12 and 13. Nara Lokesh put Upasana on the spot with the question, and she quickly named the 2013 action entertainer directed by V V Vinayak.
Her answer stood out because Ram Charan has delivered some of his most acclaimed performances in films like Rangasthalam, while RRR took him to a global audience. Instead of his biggest critical or global milestones, Upasana picked Nayak, a mass commercial entertainer in which he played a dual role.
Even Nara Lokesh appeared taken aback by her response, drawing smiles from the audience at the summit, which brought together prominent leaders from business, politics and other fields.
