RGV shoots with Akhil Akkineni?
Ace director Ram Gopal Varma who worked with Nagarjuna, Sumanth, and Naga Chaitanya (as producer) is now reportedly working with teen sensation Akhil, showcasing his proximity with the legendary Akkineni family. "Akhil has spent a couple of days with Ram Gopal Varma and shot some introductory scenes for two or three days before taking a break," said an industry source.
Interestingly, RGV who is directing Nagarjuna in a gripping cop story, took some time off and worked with his son Akhil and canned a couple of scenes with the latter. "The shooting was done in a discreet manner," the source adds.
Perhaps, Akhil who is looking to position himself as an action hero in T-town, would like to do an action adventure with 'Satya' director who gave a makeover for his father and actor Nagarjuna with 'Shiva'. "Nagarjuna became an action star overnight breaking away from his lover boy image in the 1990s.
Despite RGV producing action film 'Bejawada' with Naga Chaitanya, it tanked at the box office," concludes the source. RGV who is in the news for all the wrong reasons for the last two weeks, with his bold web series 'God, Sex and Truth,' would like to work with new generation star like Akhil and prove that he still has it in him to dish out a mainstream action entertainer.
Nevertheless, it will be an interesting movie to watch out for in 2018, if director-actor duo begin their regular shooting, it is bound to trigger lot of buzz.
