Nagarjuna’s Warm Words for the Newcomer
Appearing on Bigg Boss Telugu alongside lead actor Sundeep Kishan, Jason Sanjay found himself on the receiving end of high praise from host Nagarjuna Akkineni. Nagarjuna pointed out how consistently well Thalapathy Vijay’s films have performed in Telugu states, expressing hope that Jason’s directorial debut receives the same warmth from audiences. Jason, visibly moved, thanked him for the gesture.
Chiranjeevi Draws an Unexpected Family Comparison
Even before this, Megastar Chiranjeevi had his own moment with Jason during the film’s promotional event. He noted how closely Jason resembles his father from decades past, even suggesting he consider acting over directing. Jason, however, made clear that writing and direction have long been his genuine passion.
Interestingly, Chiranjeevi traced Jason’s creative instincts not to his famous father, but to his grandparents — filmmaker S.A. Chandrasekhar and writer Shoba — crediting their storytelling legacy as the real source of his talent.
What Sigma Is All About?
Sigma follows Guru, a rogue treasure hunter and radio host who loses everything to a devastating betrayal. Determined to reclaim his life, he sets his sights on dismantling a massive Rs. 500-crore criminal racket, navigating twists, betrayals, and high-stakes heists along the way. With Sundeep Kishan leading the cast, the film marks Jason Sanjay’s first step behind the camera.
