Just a few hours after the news of Akhil Akkineni’s destination wedding in Italy in next summer surfaced on the internet, the young actor’s parents Nagarjuna and Amala have made an official announcement regarding his engagement by releasing an invitation card.

According to the engagement invitation card, Akhil will get engaged to his girlfriend Shriya Bhupal on December 9, 2016, at GVK House in Hyderabad. A high profile private engagement ceremony will be held, and celebs from across the film, and political arenas are expected to grace the event in a big number.

Earlier this year, both the love birds got an approval from their families, and even Nagarjuna announced this in front of media. With elder Akkineni scion Naga Chaitanya pushing his marriage with Samantha by a year, it seems that the elders have decided to go ahead with the wedding festivities of the younger son of the family.
