The Akkineni Nagarjuna & Akhil Akkineni partnership
After 19 years apart, they came back together for Manam (2014). They didn't share a set between 1995 and 2014. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Sisindri (1995) to Bangarraju (2022). Hello (2017, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Sisindri; the 2020s to Bangarraju. Akkineni Nagarjuna acted in every film; Akhil Akkineni acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Nagarjuna produced 'Sisindri' (1995) specifically to launch his son Akhil as a child actor. He didn't just cast him — he built the entire film around a 7-year-old.
- For 'Manam' (2014), Nagarjuna and Akhil shot the climax scene together for the first time as adults. Nagarjuna later said he couldn't look Akhil in the eye during the emotional scene — he kept tearing up as a father.
- In 'Hello' (2017), Nagarjuna deliberately played a supporting role to Akhil's lead. He told the director to give Akhil all the punchlines and hero moments — a rare move for a superstar father.
- 'Manam' (2014) was the first Telugu film to feature three generations of the same family on screen — Nagarjuna, his father ANR, and his son Akhil. No other Indian film family had done that before.
- Akhil said in a 2017 interview: 'My father never gave me acting tips on set. He just said, "Watch me, then do your own thing." He wanted me to find my own style, not copy his.'
- On the sets of 'Bangarraju' (2022), Nagarjuna and Akhil shared a vanity van for the first time. They spent hours between shots just talking about films — not as father-son, but as co-stars.
