What worked especially well was the decision to cast three stars from the same family and have them play roles in which they are not related to one another directly. However, Vikram Kumar experimented with the genre without going overboard.
When you see the character of Chaitanya (played by ANR) arguing with Nagarjuna (played by his off-screen grandson Naga Chaitanya), it makes for great entertainment.Īt face value, the story of Manam, which was centered around the idea of reincarnation, seems a little out there. At the heart of the story, the director took different generations of a real-life family and put them in a role contrasting that of their relationships in reality. Peppered with plenty of references to ANR’s earlier hit movies (including one scene where he chides a drunk Nagarjuna taking a jab at his own movie Devadasu). This sparks off a series of fun moments on the screen where you see the real-life parent acting as the on-screen child. Nageswar hatches a plan to bring his parents together, while Chaitanya aims to bring together Nageswar and Anjali for the same reason. After bringing all the characters and their back stories together halfway through the movie, the next task at hand is tying it all together.
