Akhil Akkineni opens up on the challenges he faced coming from a ‘film family’

Akhil Akkineni has a grand family background in the Tollywood industry. His grandfather was Akkineni Nageswara Rao, an iconic actor and producer. His parents are the Tollywood megastars Nagarjuna and Amala. His elder brother and former sister-in-law are the very talented Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. With such a huge reputation of amazing performances on screen, it is only understood to feel a bit under pressure and Akhil Akkineni stated the same.  

The 27-year-old star stated that it can seem a little scary to think of all the great works done by the family members and step out to create a career in the same field. With all the acting legends around, the only way to make a mark in the industry is to work on himself rather than being compared to the rest of his family, stated the young actor.

With all the perks of being born into a legendary family, comes a lot of responsibilities. Akhil Akkineni mentioned how the fans of his ancestors and even his own have had a lot of expectations from him since day one. He is expected to deliver top-notch performances from the very beginning because of being born in the shadows of Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Nagarjuna. To break out of the viewpoint of being someone’s son in the industry is a tremendous task, as stated by the actor.
