Is the Telangana folk star ready to rule Kollywood next?

Naga Durga, a YouTube sensation from Telangana who gained popularity, thanks to her folk songs that went viral, has now landed her first leading role as an actress. She will star opposite actor Dhanush's nephew, Pavish, in her upcoming Tamil film debut. Magesh Rajendran will direct the movie, which was formally introduced today by Dhanush's father, Kasturi Raja.
In just five months, Naga Durga's Telangana folk hit "Daripontothundu" amassed over 100 million views on YouTube, making her a household name. Her folk music has gone viral, and she still has over 223k Instagram followers. According to reports, Naga Durga is preparing for her Telugu film debut in addition to her Tamil one.

Pavish, meanwhile, made his screen debut earlier this year in Dhanush's film "Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam," which was also known as "Jabilamma Neeku Antha Kopama" in Telugu. For the gifted Telangana girl, this is a significant milestone, and it will be fascinating to watch how her career develops. The regular filming of the upcoming movie, which is billed as a breezy Gen-Z romantic comedy, is anticipated to begin shortly.
