Speculations were rife that, director Vamsi Paidipally who just delivered a mediocre hit with Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamannah Bhatia starrer Oopiri, refused to work with Akkineni Akhil since the young hero insisted him to remake Hindi super hit Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. However, Akhil lashed out at the reports saying the project is very much on track.
The ‘Akhil’ star has also clarified that, they never made an announcement regarding remaking YJHD. He further stated of doing YJHD sometime in future with other director.As per a buzz, Akhil definitely wanted to remake YJHD and even put the proposal before his dad Nagarjuna and director Vamsi Paidipally. But, Vamsi wanted to make the film with a fresh subject.
When Vamsi even decided to walk out of the project, Akhil stepped down and has agreed for new subject. Apparently, Nagarjuna would have settled the issue. Prasad Vara Potluri will produce the new movie under PVP Cinemas banner. Heroine is yet to be finalized. More details about the project will be unveiled soon.
