Nagarjuna, who is currently busy working with filmmaker Karthik Dandu on a fantasy drama, recently made an appearance on the popular reality show Bigg Boss, which is hosted by his father and legendary actor Nagarjuna. On the occasion, the actor, who owns the Hyderabad Blackbirds team in the Indian Racing Festival (IRF), spoke about his love for the motorsport.
Speaking on his love for racing and his team, Naga Chaitanya said on the show, “Racing has always given me the same thrill and energy that acting does. Becoming the owner of the Hyderabad Blackbirds allowed me to turn that passion into something real. The Indian Racing League has given motorsport in India a fresh identity, and being part of this movement is incredibly special.”
Naga Chaitanya was joined by Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of Racing Promotions Pvt Ltd, and drivers from the league. The episode itself offered viewers an inside look into the world of professional racing. “Bringing this experience onto Bigg Boss Telugu felt like the perfect way to show fans what goes on behind the scenes and how incredible this sport truly is,” Naga Chaitanya added.
Akhilesh Reddy added, “Naga Chaitanya has been a driving force behind the Indian Racing League — not just as a team owner, but as someone who genuinely believes in the future of Indian motorsport. His presence on Bigg Boss Telugu helped make racing feel personal and accessible to everyday viewers. ”
Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya-starrer NC24 also features actors Meenaakshi Chaudhary and Sparsh Shrivastav in prominent roles.
