There was once a time when heroines used to run around trees and dance in front of heroes while the heroes used to be content just singing and admiring the beauty of the lady. It was with legendary ANR the trend changed. He popularised his trade mark dance steps adding his peculiar mannerisms. However with the entry of Chiranjeevi, the whole scenario in Telugu films changed. His mesmerising dance movements thrilled the audience like never before.
Gradually, dances became the integral part of a film success. Though Nag and Venkatesh also achieved stardom during the time Chiru was reigning, it was only Balakrishna who was considered a good dancer. The successors of Mega and Nandamuri family; Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun and yet to debut Sai Dharam Tej are considered terrific dancers in Tollywood.
Like Nagarjuna, even his son Naga Chaitanya somehow couldn’t mould himself to become a good dancer. In this aspect, both the Akkineni heroes couldn’t continue the tradition started by ANR. Ofcourse, romance is one genre they seem to have excelled at, which could equate to the other heroes’ dancing abilities. Coming to Akhil Akkineni, this is going to change say the sources.
To see that Akhil never falls short and questioned on his dancing abilities, it is learnt that VV Vinayak is taking every care to include mass numbers with ample dance movements in Akhil’s debut movie as a hero. The hero is honing his dancing skills and the director is making sure that the audiences wouldn’t miss the dance form of entertainment. In a way, Akkineni star kid is targetting on dances which had been the USP of Mega and Nandamuri heroes.
