It is known news that SS Rajamouli’s son Karthikeya is testing his luck in production field. Few months ago, he announced his upcoming production venture Akashavani, which is being directed by Ashwin Gangaraju who has assisted Rajamouli for both the parts of Baahubali.

Now according to the latest update, Rajamouli’s son SS Karthikeya has also caught Samuthirakani for his production venture Akashavani to play key role.
The sources close to Samuthirakani revealed that the actor has already started the shooting for his portions in Hyderabad where the filming of RRR is underway. And as this is in progress, he signed his second upcoming Telugu film and this too has a Rajamouli connection. He has been signed on to play an important role in Aakashavani which is being produced by SS Karthikeya, son of SS Rajamouli.
