Speculations were rife about
Akhil Akkineni
’s next venture. It was earlier said that Akhil’s next will be with
Vamsi Paidipally
, who directed
Akkineni Nagarjuna
and
Karthik Sivakumar
starrer, “
Oopiri
.” However, Vamsi opted out from the movie stating that he will not helm remakes for a while. Yes, “
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
” remake was suggested by Akhil Akkineni and Nagarjuna, which didn’t go well with Vamsi. Later, it was said that
Hanu Raghavapudi
, the helmer of “
Nani
” starrer, “Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gadha,” was booked to direct Akhil with a fresh script. Off late, it is said that
Koratala Siva
has been booked to helm Akhil in his next. Siva is at present busy with “
Janatha Garage
” with Jr Ntr, “
Mohanlal
,”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
and
Nithya Menen
. After wrapping up Janatha Garage, Akhil film will roll on the floors, say the sources. This time, it is not the remake of “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,” but “
Kammatti Paadam
.” DVV Danayya will produce the film. Stay tuned for more updates on Akhil’s next!
