Anand Vardhan debuts as a hero

Remember Anand Vardhan, the kid who played key roles in films ‘Priyaragalu’ and ‘Suryavamsham’? All grown up now, Anand, grandson of late singer PB Srinivas, is making his debut as a hero in ‘Aakashavani.’ The actor has completed his engineering before deciding to give films a shot.

“He is playing heroine Raquel’s brother-in-law in the film. It’s like a parallel lead,” said director Prasanna. A village-urban love story set in a fictional village around Rajamahendravaram, ‘Aakashavani’ features ‘Katha’ and ‘Tungabhadra’ fame Adith Arun in the lead.
