Sukumar, Nag and Akhil to team up?
Super talented director Sukumar scored a shattering hit with Rangasthalam and the top director is now in very much demand. Sukumar has been testing his luck as a writer and producer whenever he finds time. Sukumar penned script for Kumari 21F and he produced the film on his own banner. While introducing Akhil, Sukumar’s name too was considered but the project did not materialize. Now if the latest speculations are to be believed Sukumar and Akhil will soon team up.
Sukumar penned an interesting script that impressed Nag and Akhil. However Sukumar will not direct the film and he will co-produce this film along with Nagarjuna. The director of the film will be decided soon. Akhil is currently busy working for Venky Atluri’s next and an official announcement about Sukumar’s project is awaited. Sukumar is busy with multiple films and he will soon direct Mahesh Babu in his next.
Akhil’s producer to get a boost from UK govt
Akkineni Akhil’s third film which is being helmed by Venky Atluri is progressing at a brisk pace in and around London. Producer BVSN Prasad is spending a fortune on this project and majority of the shooting will happen in the lavish locales of London.
It is learnt that the tourism department of London is going to refund half of the budget spent for shooting there. As Akhil’s extensive London schedule is going to cost around 20 Crores, producer is going to get a refund of nearly 10 Crores as per the norms of tourism department.
London tourism department is encouraging filmmakers by reimbursing 50 percent budget spent on films for shooting in and around London. So, BVSN Prasad didn’t bat an eyelid when Venky Atluri finalized London to shoot major portion of the film. It will be big boost for the producer for sure. This is also said to be one of the reasons why our filmmakers are preferring to shoot in the UK.
Previously, the tourism department refunded some portion of the budget for Telugu films 1 Nennokidine and Nannaku Prematho which were extensively shot there.
Holland model to shake leg with Akhil
Akhil Akkineni is shooting for his next film in the direction of Venky Atluri and the shoot is taking place in London. The makers have been in talks with several actresses to shake leg with Akhil for an item number. The latest update says that Holland model Farah Karimaee has been locked for the peppy number. Farah was seen in Ram Charan’s Dhrvua as Aravind Swami’s girlfriend. She even played a small role in Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni as Greek princess.
Venky happened to watch her earlier performances and felt that she would be the apt one for the song. He even wanted a fresh face for the sizzling item number which would be shot soon. Nidhhi Agerwal is the female lead in this romantic entertainer which has been speculated to be titled Mr Majnu. BVSN Prasad is the producer and the film would hit the screens during the end of this year.
Akhil’s next to be wrapped up in quick time
Akkineni Akhil is in quest for a good commercial success that puts his career on the right track. He is now teaming up with talented director Venky Atluri for a romantic entertainer to be bankrolled by BVSN Prasad.
The regular shooting of this film will kick off in a few days in abroad. Reports suggest that the film will be wrapped up in less than three months and the makers are planning to release the film for Dusheera. The team will complete the shooting portion in straight schedules.
Nidhi Agerwal is the film’s leading lady. Mr. Majnu is the tentative title for the film.
RGV Akhil movie used as a bait to sell Officer
King Nagarjuna teamed up with Ram Gopal Varma after years with Officer which carried low buzz right from day one. The teasers and the trailer failed to attract the audience and the film lacked interesting business offers. It is during this time, a film in the combo of Akhil and Ram Gopal Varma has been announced saying that Nag is extremely impressed with the way Officer has been shaping up. This film turned out to be a trap for Officer as the makers sold the film citing to offer Akhil’s film if they fail to recover the investments.
Officer released last Friday and has been declared as the biggest disaster of Telugu cinema. The buyers are left shattered and will end up recovering zero from their investments. One of the film’s buyers spoke to Telugu360 saying that he was cheated completely. “I was in plans to produce a small budget film and it is during this time, RGV’s close aides took me to JD Chakravarthy’s office and forced me to buy Officer. They even offered me Akhil – RGV’s film if I don’t recover my investments. Though I was not impressed with the teasers and the trailer, I was forced to buy the film. Now they are out of reach and I am asked to pay the QUBE charges for the film. Suicide is the only option left for me” confessed the distributor.
Officer lacked buyers and RGV’s team managed to sell the movie during the last hours citing Akhil’s film which is a huge trap. Nagarjuna has been staying calm and away from the business of Officer right from the first day. Ram Gopal Varma has been badly criticized for his work and is unavailable as of now.
Akhil’s next titled as Mr. Majnu ?
Akkineni scion Akhil has pinned all his hopes on talented young director Venky Atluri who made an impressive debut with Tholi Prema. Akhil and Venky Atluri are going to work for a romantic entertainer to be bankrolled by BVSN Prasad.
Reports suggest that the team will kick start the regular shooting in London from mid June. Akhil and Niddhi Agarwal will be shooting for a major schedule in the picturesque locales of London for nearly 45 days in which most of the talkie part and a couple of songs will be shot.
The recce work has been wrapped up and some of the eye-catching locations have been finalized by the team.
The makers are considering Mr. Majnu as the film’s title. We have to wait for an official confirmation on this buzz.

Akhil’s film shelved
Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma has been drawing flak from all corners for instigating controversial character artist Sri Reddy to make sleazy comments on Pawan Kalyan.
This incident is definitely going to adversely impact RGV’s upcoming film with Akkineni Nagarjuna.
RGV is also supposed to work with Akkineni Akhil after this project. But, due to the ongoing controversy, it is learnt that Nagarjuna has decided not to go ahead with this project as it may not augur well for Akhil’s career.
Sources close to Nagarjuna revealed that the project has been completely shelved and will not take off.
Akhil is currently busy with a film under the direction of Venky Atluri of Tholi Prema.
Will Nag go ahead with Akhil – RGV film ?
Controversial director Ram Gopal Varma admitted that he has orchestrated the whole disparaging episode of Sri Reddy who cast aspersions on Pawan Kalyan. The repulsive act of RGV is drawing huge criticism from all quarters since today morning.
There have been numerous demands from several big wigs to ban RGV and his films for his contemptible attitude towards Telugu film industry.
Meanwhile, everyone in industry is wondering how a star actor like Nagarjuna agreed to work with RGV for ‘Officer’ as he is constantly making headlines for all wrong reasons.
Surprisingly, Nag also green signalled a project under RGV – Akhil combination which is supposed to take off later. There have been numerous doubts on whether this project will materialise or not.
Now, with RGV bearing the brunt of the entire Sri Reddy issue, Nagarjuna might not want to fraught with risk and allow Akhil to team up with the controversial director.
Nagarjuna is yet to speak on the issue. It remains to be seen how he is going to react on the entire episode as his film with RGV is due for release very soon.

Akhil turning a lover boy again
Akkineni Akhil’s quest to bag a big hit ended as a futile attempt on two occasions. While debut film Akhil ended as huge disaster, his second outing Hello didn’t yield the desired box office result despite generating decent talk and good reviews.

Will Akhil announce it on his birthday ?
The disappointing show of Hello has once again put Akkineni Akhil in a tight corner. He is in a dilemma over his next project. Even after four months post completion of Hello, Akhil is yet to announce his third film. Several directors names have been making rounds in media, but Akhil is tight lipped about the project details.
Sources say that Akhil is going to make a formal announcement on April 8th on the eve of his birthday. It was speculated that Koratala Siva and Sukumar are the forerunners to helm Akhil’s third film. Later, names for Puri Jagannadh and Ram Gopal Varma also cropped up. But nothing has been finalized till now.
Both Koratala and Sukumar are busy with their commitments. Akhil might not be too interested to experiment much at this juncture by teaming up Puri or RGV. So, it remains to be seen what Akhil has in store for his third project.
Will he announce it on his birthday ? Let’s see.
