Young hero Akhil Akkineni, who had begun his career on a disastrous note with the 2015 flop flick Akhil directed by VV Vinayak, later went on to score another colossal disaster with Hello directed by Vikram K Kumar. Following the double disasters, Akhil had taken a lot of time to decide his third project.
Finally, Akhil had broken his penance and had signed to star in the romantic entertainer directed by Venky Atluri, who had established himself as a maker of immense potential with his debut flick, the romantic entertainer Tholi Prema that starred Varun Tej and Raashi Khanna, and went on to become a super hit.
While it was initially speculated that the team had zeroed in on Sandalwood beauty Rashmika Mandanna, who had a superb start to her Tollywood career with Chalo, to pair with Akhil, it has now been revealed that the team had gone for a test shoot with the Bolly beauty Nidhi Agerwal and are on track to sign her to play Akhil's lead. At the same time, Nidhi works along with Chay for a TV Commercial.
