Nagarjuna turned 61 on Saturday, and fans, friends, family and colleagues flooded social media with wishes for the Telugu superstar.
Nagarjuna's younger son Akhil Akkineni posted a picture on Instagram where the father-son duo is seen horse-riding. "Well.... this picture sort of defines our relationship in many ways. As I try to to run he always anchors me. Walking me through life. It's the mind that matters most, and his mind is something that I truly admire. Beyond the fitness, beyond the everlasting youth he has in him and beyond all of that fame, it's the mind ! Calm and composed. You truly are an incredible human being. Happy birthday my dearest father," Akhil wrote as caption.
Nagarjuna's elder son Chaitanya Akkineni too wished his father on social media, but in a different way. He chose the occasion to announce his new film, Thank You. 'Thank You.. an expression that can be forgotten or when used right can mean more than anyother there is . #ThankYouTheMovie A story I'm looking forward to tell! With a team I'm really thankful I met," Chaitanya tweeted.
