Star kids following their parents’ footsteps is nothing new in Tollywood. Many star kids made successful debuts on Telugu silver screen and are ruling the hearts of millions of their parents’ fans and even have their own fan following. The latest kid on the block is Akash Puri, the son of maverick director Puri Jagannadh.
After appearing in several hit films as a child actor, Akash is finally making his debut as a hero in the teenage romantic drama Andhra Pori. Andhra Pori is an official remake of Marathi film Timepass. However, not many know that Timepass is the biggest ever hit in the history of Marathi cinema. Made with a budget of just 2 crores, the film went on to collect more than 33 crores and smashed all the existing box office records by a huge margin.
This clearly explains Puri’s knack of choosing the right launch pad for his son’s debut. Since the film will be releasing in the 2nd week of May, one can expect it to collect big cashing in on the holiday season. The film is produced by the legendary production house, Prasad Productions.
Instead of the original film’s love story between the lower cast boy and upper caste girl in the Marathi original, the Telugu version will have Akash playing a Telangana boy and Ulka Gupta plays an Andhra girl, making enough room for regional conflict making things more interesting.
