Ahead of 'Manam' shooting, Chaitanya experiences jitters

Actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is "excited" and "nervous" ahead of shooting for the first time with his grandfather and father in upcoming Telugu comedy-drama "Manam". Chaitanya will shoot with his family members here Sep 9.

"Manam" also features Chaitanya's grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao and father Akkineni Nagarjuna. It is touted to be the first family multi-starrer in Telugu.

"I'm quite excited and nervous at the same time. I'm sure shooting few days together with my grandfather and dad will ease my tension because facing them together before the camera will be totally different from what it is at home," Naga Chaitanya told IANS.

Vikram Kumar of "13B" and "Ishq" fame will helm this project, which will be produced by Akkineni home banner.

The film also features Shriya Saran and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in important roles.

It is reported that the three members from Akkineni family will reprise their real life relationship on screen as well.

In Indian cinema, only the Kapoor family - Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor - have featured together in Hindi film "Kal Aaj Aur Kal".
