Chennai: At 54, Akkineni Nagarjuna plays roles that give actors half his age tough competition, but his son Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, who doesn't mind the "healthy competition", says as an actor he is always challenged by the roles his father portrays on screen.
"Dad and I have a very healthy competition and it doesn't bother me. But I'm amazed at the roles he plays at his age. His roles such as a suave urban lover challenge me as an actor because at half his age, I wish I could play such roles," Chaitanya told IANS in an interview.
