Inside News: Akkineni father-son duo to play brothers in Bangarraju

Akkineni Nagarjuna‘s Bangarraju is one of the highly anticipated sequels in Tollywood. The film, which is a sequel to the actor’s hit film Soggade Chinni Nayana, has been in the news for a long time now.

It was supposed to go on floors this May, but due to the pandemic situation, the makers are planning to start the production in mid-July.

We already reported that Nagarjuna’s son and actor Naga Chaitanya will be playing a key role in the film. Now, we have exclusively learnt that Nagarjuna and Chay will be seen as brothers in Bangarraju. The father-son duo will be playing brothers on screen for the first time. They have earlier acted in the film ‘Manam’ which also starred Samantha Akkineni.

Kalyan Krishna, who had directed the film, will wield the megaphone for the sequel as well. The film will be bankrolled by Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios. Bangarraju will feature Ramya Krishnan as the female lead. The film is slated to hit screens next year.
