Actor Akhil Akkineni is busy promoting his upcoming movie Lenin, which is set for a worldwide release on July 10. As part of the promotions, Akhil joined actor Getup Srinu for a fun interview titled Saradaga Kaasepu. The interview was filled with laughter, interesting conversations, and a prank call that has now become a viral sensation on social media.
During the interview, Akhil and Getup Srinu enjoyed tea and snacks while talking about the film and sharing funny moments. To entertain fans, they decided to make a prank call to a random person.
Akhil introduced himself by saying, "I am Akhil Akkineni speaking." However, the man on the other end refused to believe him. Instead, he gave a hilarious reply, saying, "If you are Akhil, then I am Nagarjuna." His unexpected answer left both Akhil and Getup Srinu laughing.
Even after Akhil tried to convince him that it was really him, the caller continued joking. He asked, "Tell me, how is Naga Chaitanya doing now?" He even mimicked the voice of legendary actor ANR and jokingly said, "Do you think I cannot recognize my grandson's voice?" His quick wit made the conversation even more entertaining.
Later, Getup Srinu took the phone and said, "Anna, this is Getup Srinu speaking." The stranger once again responded with another funny line, saying, "I am Sudheer. Tell me what you want." Getup Srinu explained that they were making a prank call as part of Lenin promotions. Still, the man remained doubtful. He questioned why such a big hero would call him and wondered how Akhil even got his phone number.
Since the caller did not believe them despite several attempts, Akhil and Getup Srinu laughed and ended the call. A short while later, the same person called back and asked who they really were and why they had contacted him.
The video has now gone viral, with fans enjoying the natural comedy and the stranger's clever replies. Meanwhile, excitement is also building for Lenin. The film stars Bhagya Shri Borse as the female lead, while Getup Srinu, Shivaji, Ramky, and Eshwari Rao play important roles. The music has been composed by S. Thaman.
