Alia Bhatt has been approached for a Tollywood film opposite Akkineni Nagarjuna’s son, Akhil Akkineni
Superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna’s son, Akhil Akkineni is all set and prepared for his second film. However, due to constant delay in the film, the 22-year-old actor is not too happy with the way things are shaping up. Directed by Vikram Kumar, the shooting of the movie has been indefinitely delayed due to the unavailability of its lead actress Megha Akash. Megha has been busy with other projects and has opted out of the film as she will soon be flying to the USA on a month-long schedule of her film with Nithiin.

However, Akhil is now trying to rope in Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt to play the lead. He has been trying all his connections in Bollywood to get Alia to agree for the same. A source close to a leading daily revealed, "It’s still not known whether the actress has thought about the project, but Akhil is trying his luck through Karan Johar and his father’s contacts. Nagarjuna and Mahesh Bhatt are also good friends as they worked together earlier for a film."

Daddy Nagarjuna has also come forward to his son's rescue and is trying his connections in the industry to make things fall in place for Akhil. However, there is no confirmation as yet on whether Alia has given her nod for the film or not.
