Sunil turns Jakkanna

Sunil’s movie under the direction of ‘Raksha’ fame Vamsi Krishna Akella has been titled ‘Jakanna’. At an event in Hyderabad on Friday, the actor said the film deals with a plot that has never been explored in Tollywood.

“Jakkanna attained fame by sculpting stones. Likewise, how my character, who is assumed to be of no use, does great things is what the film all about,” he said.

Vamsi Krishna said they are planning to release the film this summer. “80 per cent of the filming has been wrapped up. The final schedule will commence on March 24,” he said.

A production venture of R Sudharshan Reddy, the film also features Raja Ravindra, Posani Krishna Murali, Kabir Duhan Singh and Saptagiri in supporting roles. Mannara Chopra is cast opposite Sunil.
