In the recent past, it is the first time that Akkineni Sumanth has been the talk of the town for his look as his grandfather Akkineni Nageshwara Rao. The overwhelming response for the look is certainly flattering and he is all over the media making headlines.
Talking about how he started the shoot on the first day when he joined the shoot, it was the oath taking ceremony of NTR. Even Rana was part of the shoot as he is essaying Chandrababu Naidu’s role in the biopic on legendary NTR. Sumanth seemed to be kicked out about playing his grandfather and he said it again and again that this biopic will portray ANR’s off-screen avatar. Anyway, Sumanth was very close to his grandfather and obviously, he knows how his grandfather’s mannerisms.
Besides his own experiences, even Balakrishna is giving him guidance about ANR’s relationship with NTR and their professional relationship though they had been strong competitors as the two top heroes in the industry. Sumanth says that Balayya’s suggestions are helping him a lot. The Akkineni hero will be seen in 5-6 different get-ups as ANR in NTR’s biopic. Sounds interesting!
