Sushant, the grandson of actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, and Nagarjuna’s nephew, also confimed the news:
The film makers are still to cast the female lead, and other roles, but Rahul has said that the film will be a romantic comedy, and be made in the Telugu language. Production will likely begin end of October or early November.
Recently, Rahul hit back at a sexist ad by Snapdeal which alleged that women spend more money online, and tried to hide it from their husbands. Rahul, who is married to Chinmayi, said she earns more than he does, and pays more taxes than he does, and such ads are sexist.
My wife filed higher returns than I did last year and pays for her own online or otherwise shopping. She ain’t gotta run anywhere. #Sexist https://t.co/vgcL97fd0L
