With three generations of the Akkinenis -- late Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), Akkineni Nagarjuna and Akkineni Naga Chaitanya -- acting in it, it’s a landmark film, the second family after the Kapoors to do such a film together.
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.
Film celebs like Amitabh Bachchan (who does a cameo in Manam) and Mahesh Babu have tweeted about it. Amitabh Bachchan has talked of a Hindi remake of Manam.
The theme of the film, produced by the Akkineni family and directed by Vikram Kumar, is birth and rebirth.
The family must be happy that the last film of ANR is a winner with audiences and the box office.
