Change of script delays Akhil-Vikram Kumar film

In the news recently for its storyline of a Hindu born raised by a Muslim family falling for a Hindu girl who is born a Muslim, Akhil Akkineni’s film with Vikram Kumar, we hear, will take more time to roll.

Talkies has reliably learnt that film’s producer Nagarjuna was upset with the story leak and has asked Vikram to develop another idea that he had with him.

A source close to the development confirms, “As the news of the film’ story made rounds last month, Nag has advised Vikram to flesh out the second idea that he had with him.

Since the initial line was very thin, with Vikram banking on some ‘defining moments’ in the script, Nag felt the leak would kill the suspense element as the film nears release and politely asked Vikram and his battery of writers to go for another story even if it meant that the project gets delayed.

He also asked the team to ensure that the new idea’s logline is strictly guarded. He is considering the project as a re-launch for Akhil and doesn’t want to put a foot wrong.” The source adds, “Vikram and Co are currently working on an action-love story and are in the process of finishing it.

Hollywood stunt masters have been spoken to for the film and Akhil is already prepping up.” Anup Rubens is on board to compose the film’s tunes.
