Bhaskar to direct Akhil Akkineni
Actor Akhil Akkineni is all set to start shooting for his next film soon. According to a source, Bommarillu fame Bhaskar is going to be directing this film, and Allu Aravind of Geetha Arts will be producing it. The film’s team, however, is still on the hunt for a suitable actress to play the female lead role in the movie. “The filmmakers will only announce the film officially after they confirm the female lead,” said the source.
Bhaskar happened to narrate the story to Akhil some time ago, and Akhil agreed to take up the role. “It’s an emotional family drama, very typical of Bhaskar’s style,” said the source about the story of the movie. Akhil has done three films so far and is in need of a good commercial hit. From his last two films, his acting skills certainly seem to have improved. Apparently, even Nagarjuna has given a green signal for the movie, but its shooting will commence only after the makers confirm the female lead actress.
