Rupees 25 cr on Akhil’s action episodes?

Seasoned star Nagarjuna is literally splurging money on his son and teen sensation Akhil’s next release ‘Hello’ and has reportedly spent a whopping Rs 25 crore for a few action sequences in the film. “Action director had hired stuntmen from Hollywood and they are charging a bomb as remuneration as well as for their stay and also for their travel in private jets while shooting for the film,” says a source close to the unit.

Elaborating further on the most expensive action episodes in recent times, the source adds “These 60 to 80 stuntmen are well-equipped in performing dare-devil stunts and also trained Akhil to perform death-defying fights to raise the bar on stunt scenes in Telugu cinema.”

Meanwhile, Nagarjuna who is also the producer of the film is busy with the film's promotions which will hit the screens on December 22. During a media interaction, he said that the stunts in the film were that of Hollywood standards. "A few action sequences will remind you of Jackie Chan stunts," he added.

He also describes it as a love story happening in one single day. "It’s a story about a young boy and girl getting separated as childhood friends and reuniting after 15 years,” he revealed.
