Vikram Kumar confirms launching Priyadarshan's daughter

Director Vikram Kumar, known for films such as Manam and 24, has confirmed that he is launching filmmaker Priyadarshan's daughter Kalyani in his upcoming yet-untitled Telugu project, starring Akkineni Akhil in the lead.

"I had worked as an assistant with Priyadarshan sir and I have known his daughter since she was a kid. We felt this would be a great launch pad for Kalyani. She is expected to join the sets in ten days' time," says Vikram. 

A romantic actioner, the film is being produced by actor Akkineni Nagarjuna. Incidentally, Priyanka had worked as an assistant art director in last year's Tamil actioner Irumugan.
