Nithiin Unhappy With Thammudu Title? Here�s The Truth

Nithiin has always drawn his Powerstar Pawan Kalyan fandom on his sleeve, but even the most loyal fan can get nervous about stepping on sacred ground. That�s exactly what happened when his latest film was titled Thammudu, a name forever associated with Pawan Kalyan�s 1999 cult classic. In a recent interview, Nithiin admitted he wasn�t thrilled about the decision at first and feared the reaction it would bring.

He confessed that using such a powerful, already-loved title made him uncomfortable. �I thought people would troll me for reusing the same name again, especially since I�m a big fan of Pawan garu,� he said. That hesitation wasn�t just about online backlash, it came from a genuine place of respect. After all, Thammudu isn�t just a title, it�s an emotion for many Telugu movie lovers.

But producer Dil Raju and director Venu Sreeram saw things differently. According to Nithiin, they believed the story they were telling needed that title, and nothing else would do justice to the core of the film. Eventually, he gave in, but not without carrying the pressure that comes with reviving such a legendary name. With the film set to hit screens on July 4, all eyes are on whether this modern Thammudu can earn its own identity.

Nithiin didn�t try to act too cool or brush off concerns. Instead, he chose honesty, and that honesty may just work in his favor. He�s not remaking Thammudu, but he�s aware of the weight that name carries. Now, the question is: will the audience accept a new chapter under an old title? Or will comparisons be too loud to ignore? Either way, Nithiin is walking into this one fully aware, and that�s saying something.
