Nani recalls his struggles on set

Nani recalls his struggles on set :

The release of Nani's all-Indian flick Dasara is approaching. The actor mentioned his experience as an assistant director for Telugu movies in a recent interview, recalling how the crew frequently teased him. Before landing his big break as the main character, Nani worked as an assistant director in a number of movies. The actor Shyam Singha Roy said that he would suppress his rage when mistreated since he was pursuing a higher ambition, and that was what kept him going. Dasara, a movie starring Nani and Keerthy Suresh, opens in theaters on March 30.
In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Nani recalled, “When you are an assistant director, there are a lot of cuss words they use on you.

Particularly when you are the last assistant, when you are the clap assistant. Everybody thinks they can say anything to you and you are someone who is dreaming, who every day is thinking that you want to be something someday. You can give it back, you can say it back but you hold it. Because there is a bigger dream than just reacting on that day, that moment.” According to Nani, individuals will verbally harass an assistant for even the smallest offences, and they will not refrain from calling them names even if they obviously do not have the same authority as them.

The Jersey actor claimed he "never felt terrible because of the swear words," but he was devastated when a director made fun of him in front of everyone on the set and declared that he would never succeed as a director. “When I really felt bad was when a director told me that I’ll never become a director. In front of everyone, he called and said, ‘Mark my words, you will never become a director, you don’t have it in you.’ I felt very bad, extremely bad. Because somebody just saying some bad words is okay but somebody hitting on your dream is very difficult,” Nani says. Nani said that all these incidences “happened back-to-back” but the hurt he felt at the time, he can bear it all again. The actor says that, “All that is nothing when it comes to what I have today. So I am full of gratitude. I can go through that two more times to be able to enjoy this.”
