Exclusive: Akhil 3rd, Rajamouli Kicked Out

Is King Nagarjuna really getting overcautious about the career of his younger son Akhil? Yes says the film sources if news about Nag rejecting Rajamouli is really true. Read here on what the actual story is.

Post Baahubali tremors, Jakkanna further shook industry circles unofficially announcing his next multi starrer with Junior NTR and Ramcharan. Matter is this prestigious assignment will go on floors only by 2018 end with pre production taking due time frame. 

Meanwhile, Jakkanna thought of fulfilling a long back promise made to Nagarjuna by directing Akhil’s 3rd. An announcement about the same was expected on January 10th that is in next five days. 

Initially this key venture is planned on ARKA banner with piercing headline ‘From The Makers of Baahubali’ and release date is marked for October or November 2018 giving two months leisure for Rajamouli to join on Charan-Tarak multi starrer.

However, Nag is said to be unhappy over Rajamouli allotting mere 10 months for Akhil 3rd. Informed to be a love story with commercial action, Rajamouli believed that 10 months is enough for him to wrap up a super hit final product for which Nag did not accept. 

Resultantly, the deal isn’t materialized despite Nag expressed his excitement to bankroll the same on Annapurna Studios banner but requested at least a year of Rajamouli’s time. 

Whatsoever, Nagarjuna kicked out the whole proposal and is going ahead with Akhil 3rd announcement on Jan 10th to be helmed by a student from Annapurna Film School and Surpiya to manage the production works.
