Nagarjuna has decided to present the upcoming film Itllu Arjuna under his Annapurna Studios banner after watching it and being impressed. The action romance stars Aniesh and Anaswara Rajan, directed by Mahesh Uppala, with music by S Thaman. Venky Kudumula makes his debut as producer on this project.

At a press event on 16 October, Nagarjuna said the film has 'very youthful energy' and reminded him of classics like Kshana Kshanam and Ninne Pelladutha. He revealed he initially warned Aniesh about the risk of playing a mute character in his debut, but was amazed by the completed film. Itllu Arjuna is scheduled for theatrical release on 30 October.
Both telugu360.com and m9.news report Nagarjuna presenting Itllu Arjuna after watching it, quoting his praise. Telugu360 focuses on the film's 'similar energy' to classics like Kshana Kshanam, framing it as a 'sure-shot winner', which is promotional. M9.news leads with Nagarjuna being 'surprised' after watching and his warning to Aniesh about the risk of a mute character debut, adding a critical undertone. Neither outlet questions the ultimate test: the film's box office performance after its 30 October release.
