Nithiin’s Jayam turns 20; actor thanks director Teja for giving him his first break

Nithiin couldn’t have thought of a better beginning for his career than Jayam. The Teja directorial that launched him and Sadha into Telugu cinema turned out to be a monstrous success at the box office and gave a solid foundation for the lead pair’s careers to take off. Today, the rustic action-romance turned two decades old. Nithiin took to social media to share his happiness.

On completing 20 years in the industry, he says Jayam, his debut film, is a feeling he can’t comprehend in words. Thanking director Teja for giving his first break and recognising the actor in him, he conveyed his gratitude to filmmakers, producers, actors, technicians, staff and crew of all films he had worked on. “Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today,” Nithiin said.

He called these two decades a beautiful journey and thanked everyone who sailed with him, supporting and believing in him, through his thick and thin. He had an extra-special message for his fans for sustaining their unfading faith in him. “Your love kept me going. Last, but not the least, heartfelt gratitude to my fans who sustained me by their unfading faith,” the actor added.

The Jayam actor will next be seen in Macherla Niyojakavargam, alongside Catherine Tresa and Krithi Shetty. The film, produced by his father Sudhakar Reddy and sister Nikhitha Reddy under Sreshth Movies, is directed by eminent editor Rajasekhar Reddy and has music by Mahati Swara Sagar.
