In today’s episode, we have Nani, also known as the Natural Star, who, unlike many in South Indian cinema, had no godfather or film family to back him. From standing outside offices just hoping to get noticed, to working as an unpaid apprentice and clap boy, his journey is anything but typical. And yet, today, he's one of the most loved and respected stars in the industry.

We talked about the reality of being an outsider and the unspoken pressure actors face when a film flops. He shares about comparisons in the media, what actually goes on behind those “fan-made” cults, and why South cinema embraces those larger-than-life fight scenes. Nani also talks about his role models.

Towards the end, he opens up about his love story, how he met his wife outside the film world, and the car accident that completely changed the way he looks at life. It’s raw, unfiltered, and one of those episodes that stays with you.
