Renu Desai shuts down rumors about son Akira Nandan's film debut: "If he even thinks of acting, I'll post it on Instagram"

Speaking at a recent podcast, Renu Desai, former wife of Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan, put to rest the ongoing rumors on social media about their son Akira Nandan's entry into the film industry. She addressed the speculation head-on giving clarity on Akira's current interests and future plans.
In a podcast with Nikhil Vijayendra Simha, Renu shared that Akira is not involved in any capacity with Pawan Kalyan's upcoming film 'They Call Him OG,' directed by Sujeeth. She urged fans not to believe unverified news and assured that if Akira ever decides to pursue acting, she would make an official announcement through her Instagram account.
She said, "I have said it 100 times and say another 100 times, if he ever decides or even thinks of acting I'll put it on my Instagram. As simple as that. If it is there on my Insta it is true."
The rumor mill had been working overtime, with reports suggesting that Akira might make his debut in 'OG' or that he was being groomed for a film launch by Ram Charan. Renu firmly denied these claims, stating that such reports are entirely false. She humorously recounted how Akira reacts to these rumors, asking her to stop sending him articles about his supposed film debut.

She jokingly mentioned calling Akira, "When is Charan Anna calling me?" and "When are guys letting me know; what project are you working on?"
'OG', directed by Sujeeth, is a gangster action thriller set in the 1970s and 80s. The film features Pawan Kalyan as a ruthless don named Ojas Gambheera 'OG,' who returns to Mumbai to settle scores. Emraan Hashmi makes his Telugu debut as the antagonist, while Priyanka Mohan plays the female lead.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan's youngest son, Mark Shankar, has been in the news for a different reason. The 8-year-old suffered injuries in a fire accident at his school in Singapore, prompting Pawan Kalyan to rush to be by his side.
