A big year for Nag’s family

February 27, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 06:25 pm IST - HYDERABAD:

Interesting things seem to be happening in actor Nagarjuna’s household.  His younger son, Akhil, has been in news for some time now, thanks to his much awaited debut.  The project, launched recently, is being produced by actor Nitin and directed by V.V. Vinayak.

Ever since the project was finalised, rumours are rife about the story and guest appearances. Pawan Kalyan, Nagarjuna, Nitin and even Amala’s names are doing the rounds for a cameo. While the shooting of the movie is under way at Ramoji Film City, Akhil’s brother Naga Chaitanya might get that one elusive solo hit he has been waiting for.

The sleek stills of his latest starrer Dochey has been grabbing attention. The flick is being directed by Swamy..ra..ra.. fame Sudheer Verma, who was widely appreciated for his work.  The ‘yuvasamrat’ is not far behind. His bilingual with Tamil actor Karthi is touted to be the biggest multi-starrer this year. Director Vamshi Paidipally, who gave actor Ram Charan one of his biggest hits through Yovvadu , will helm this project.

Naga Chaitanya’s Dochey is slated for March release, actor Nagarjuna’s and Akhil’s debut will be out in the later half of the year. Who will score big among them has to be seen.

Debuting as a director and DoP!

He worked behind the camera as Director of Photography in ‘Prema, Ishq, Kadal’ and ‘Karthikeya’ and his work attracted attention. But now, with ‘Surya Vs Surya’ that is all set to release in a week, he is debuting as director, which still making his cam work.

That’s Karthik Ghattamaneni, whose debut as director is about a subject, the hero (played by Nikhil) suffers from a disorder called ‘Porpheria’ that only vampires are normally known to get.

Having made enough research not to go wrong, he said that this happens due to the lack of a haemoglobin-producing enzyme that means the affected people get severely-burnt if they stand for more than 15 minutes under the Sun. If you are wondering what this could mean to the director who also doubles up behind the camera, it simply translates into the fact that he cannot take any of the usual shots under harsh daylight ?

“So I made my hero a man who explores nightlife in the City of Pearls, not your regular meaning, but only that he prefers going to locations that most people do not, giving the scene an eerie feel,” this modest youngster says, adding with good-natured humour that his camera actually made the hero to look like a mini-vampire. “This is a challenging role for an actor like Nikhil who strives to don different roles,” Karthik says, signing off.
