Akash to play hero in 'Krishnakanth'

K Murali is directing and producing a film titled 'Krishna Kanth' on the banner of Uma Creations with Akash as hero with a tagline 'Veedu Evadnee Lekka Cheyadu!' The recording of songs for the film began on July 12.

It is said that the film would be a love story with action backdrop. A new face would be introduced as heroine opposite Akash. It may be mentioned here that the producer cum director K Murali had earlier brought out films like 'University Blues and Sorry, Vellostaa'€¦'.

Vijay, Chitram Basha, Rahul Raj, Srinivasa Reddy and others are in the cast.

Though Akash got a very good break with a film titled 'Anandam', he could not withstand in the industry as hero and the reason was said to be the selection of poor stories. 'Piliste Palukutha'€¦' is the last film of Akash in which he played a solo hero.

Though he appeared in a supporting character in 'Andala Ramudu', Sunil earned a good name with the movie as hero.

Lyrics are by Daddy Srinivas and Paidisetti Ram, camera is by Jagadish, while story, dialogues, screenplay, producer and direction are by K Murali.
