The Vikram Kumar and Akkineni bond continues to flourish

Mumbai: Looks like director Vikram Kumar’s association with the Akkineni family continues to flourish. After directing three generations of the clan in Manam, the filmmaker recently helmed 'Hello' starring Akhil, and will next work with Naga Chaitanya.

Vikram, who presently has a couple of projects lined up in Telugu and Tamil, was keen to direct 'Chay' next. But will take up the project only after honouring his prior commitments.

A source in the know says, “Nagarjuna was always fascinated with Vikram’s working style and entrusted him with the responsibility of relaunching Akhil. He now wants the director to bring 'Chay' closer to the family audience.”
