There is a new hero on the block and now he is desperately looking for a heroine to make his big debut against.

Nagarjuna's youngest born, Akhil, is all set to storm into the big screens by 2015, and now the hunt is on for a pretty face to romance him in his debut film. And the one name that seems to be doing rounds for quite sometime now is megastar Chiranjeevi's niece

Akhil Akkineni has been undergoing rigorous acting, action and dance training. He is also doing few short films to test his skills. One of his short films is likely to be released soon. Also starring mega brother Nagababu's daughter Niharika Konidela, this short film has been directed by ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli's son Karthikeya.

Sources from the industry says that Nagarjuna has big plans for Akhil's launch. He knows how many aspiring actors and filmmakers are making it big with their short films released on Youtube at the onset of their careers.

So to garner attention and make an impact, the actor plans to release a short film before making a big debut as a hero.
