Nagarjuna and Samantha Akkineni had worked together in Manam and Raju Gari Gadhi 2 but that was before she married Nag’s son Naga Chaitanya. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law are now sharing the screen space once again in Manmadhudu 2.

Reports are that Samantha will be seen in an extended cameo in this flick. The shooting of Manmadhudu 2 is underway in Portugal where the team is stationed. Nagarjuna, the lead star, posted a pic of himself on the sets with his daughter-in-law Samantha on his social media page. This has gone viral among their fans.

Nag wrote: “It was an absolute delight shooting with kodala pilla @Samanthaprabhu2 for #manmadhudu2 so much fun!!!! More pics on the way #Manmadhudu2diaries @23_rahulr  @Viacom18movies @AnnapurnaStdios @AnandiArtsOffl.”

And Samantha replied, “I am so so happy that I could play a small part in #manmadhudu2 ... so much positivity surrounding this project and this team .. I am supremely confident that this ones a winner @23_rahulr @Rakulpreet @vennelakishore.”

Directed by Rahul Ravindran of Chi La Sow fame, the film has Nagarjuna and Rakul Preet Singh playing the lead pair. Sources in the know say that Nagarjuna chose Rahul Ravindran to wield the megaphone for the sequel after he was impressed with the director’s debut directorial Chi La Sow.

Those in the supporting roles include Vennela Kishore, Rao Ramesh, Nassar, Lakshmi, Devadarshini, Jhansi, etc. Chaithan Bharadwaj is composing music for this romantic comedy. The film will be bankrolled jointly by Nag’s Manam enterprises and P Kiran’s Anandi Art Creations.

Manmadhudu, a 2002 rom com, had Akkineni Nagarjuna in the lead role and he had bankrolled the venture under his home banner Annapurna Studios. The film was a big hit in his career and after all these years, a sequel to it is being made.
