The movie, Manam is very special to the Akkineni family. The film features Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya. Filmmaker Vikram Kumar narrated the story in a very intriguing manner. He weaved the story by using the elements like destiny, re-incarnation, and didn't give any miss to humour. Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya, Nageswara Rao, Samantha and Shriya acted in the lead roles. Can anyone forget the episodes between Nag, Chay and ANR in the flick? Obviously, a big No. Akhil Akkineni played a cameo in the film and it also added to the movie. Manam is the last movie of the legendary actor late ANR. The flick has hit the theatres on 23rd May, 2014. Manam was screened at the  45th International Film Festival of India and the celluloid won numerous awards.

Raghavendra Rao also took to his Twitter and tweeted that, 23 years ago, a very special film, Annamayya released and thanked almighty for giving him the opportunity to make a film in his divine existence. Here is the tweet.
