Although Akhil has been interacting with several directors, the final decision will be taken by his father Akkineni Nagarjuna. The Akkineni camp say all the reports about Akhil doing the remake of “Kammatipaadam” and okaying director Hanu Raghavpudi’s script are not true.
Nagarjuna has given the freedom to Akhil to talk to any director and listen to the scripts but Nag will take the final call. One must recall Nagarjuna didn’t want Akhil to attemp such heavy script for his maiden movie “Akhil”.
He asked his son to select a lighter subject but Akhil reportedly insisted on doing that. And the movie bombed.
Only after the failure of his maiden film, Akhil Akkineni has realized his mistake and decided to go with his father’s choices.
Akhil was to do his second film in the direction of Vamsi Paidipally but the director is not interested in remaking “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”. So he asked some time to prepare a new script.
Vamsi Paidipally who went to USA for personal trip will also be coming down to Hyderabad shortly. Nagarjuna will decide the project next month.
If Vamsi takes too much time for preparing the script, Nag might go ahead with other directors that Akhil is interacting with.
