My next film 'Damarukam' is a socio-fantasy, which is a very interesting project. After that, I would be working for Shiridi Sai Baba film," said Nagarjuna to the media persons at the Renigunta Airport, Tirupati.

The process of tonsuring head is known as Tirukshavaram or Kalyanapradakshavaram, which is considered as one of the rich offerings by total surrendering to the Lord from the earthly pleasures.
