Son of Akkineni Nageshwara Rao and brother of hero Akkineni Nagarjuna, Venkat Akkineni is all geared up to take direction. His name became synonymous with Annapurna Studios.
It was he, who used to look after the films produced by their studio, starring his brother in his early days. He has got sound knowledge in production of films and very good grip of all the departments of production.
According to the industry sources in Film Nagar, he taking up direction has become the topic of discussion. The signing of Jagapathi Babu as hero for his film has raised many eyebrows. There has been a good and cordial relation between the families of Akkineni Nageshwara Rao and Producer of yesteryears V.B.Rajendra Prasad, which their sons are continuing even today.
The coming together of Venkat and Jagapathi Babu has given their relationship a different dimension. Jagapathi Babu always used to say, the role that I have portrayed in the film '?ÂÂ?Anthapuram'?ÂÂ, is one of the best in my career. The story of this film will also be on the same lines. The combination of Venkat Akkineni and Jagapathi Babu will be a sensational one. The Banner, under which the film is going to be produced, has not been revealed. The story discussion is going on.
