Now its time for puri's son

The latest kid on the block is Akash Puri, the son of maverick director Puri Jagannadh. After appearing in several hit films as a child actor, Akash is finally making his debut as a hero in the teenage romantic drama Andhra Pori. Andhra Pori is an official remake of Marathi film Timepass. However, not many know that Timepass is the biggest ever hit in the history of Marathi cinema.

Since the film will be releasing in the 2nd week of May, one can expect it to collect big cashing in on the holiday season. The film is produced by the legendary production house, Prasad Productions. Instead of the original film's love story between the lower cast boy and upper caste girl in the Marathi original, the Telugu version will have Akash playing a Telangana boy and Ulka Gupta plays an Andhra girl, making enough room for regional conflict making things more interesting.
