It was grandfather the late ANR’s last film, which also had a cameo of Akhil Akkineni (Nagarjuna's and Amala's son) whose amazing screen presence is being talked about.

The film has been acclaimed by audiences and critics and is raking in the moolah at the box office.

The family must be happy that the last film of ANR is a winner with audiences and the box office.
