Actor Puri Akash, who is making his acting debut in the forthcoming Telugu teenage love story 'Andhra Pori', says he always wished to be launched by his filmmaker-father Puri Jagannath, who didn`t quite agree with his son.

'I`ve always wished to be launched by my father. I wanted to be launched as a hero in one of his films. But he suggested that I do Andhra Pori` as he felt it suited my age and wanted me to experience everything on my own,' Akash told.

Without much hesitation, Akash took his father`s advice. In 'Andhra Pori', a Telugu remake of Marathi hit 'Time Pass', Akash plays a Class 10 dropout.

'I had to pick up on Telangana accent. I essay a massy village dweller. To get my dialect right, I underwent a week-long workshop and it really helped me to champion the language,' he said.

Andhra Pori is about two teenagers and their first crush.
