Tamil actress Megha Akash has been roped in to play the female lead opposite Akhil Akkineni in his upcoming film, directed by Vikram Kumar. Megha Akash is currently doing a couple of Tamil films, one of which is opposite Dhanush. Gautam Menon is directing this film and it is still in the production stage. Director Vikram Kumar had seen her and decided to rope her in for his upcoming film with Akhil.
“He wants a fresh face for the Telugu film, so he showed her pictures to Nagarjuna, who agreed,” says a source. Interestingly, Megha is also being considered for Akhil’s best friend, Nithiin’s film, too, with director Hanu Ragahavapudi. “She is one option for Nithiin’s film and he has spoken to her. Nothing has been officially signed, but in a few days time she may finalise her role,” says the source.
