Chennai, Jul 8 (IANS): Gautham Krishna, son of superstar Mahesh Babu, will be seen playing the younger version of his father in upcoming Telugu action-thriller "1: Nenokkadine".

Scenes featuring Gautham were canned in London Sunday.

"Gautham is playing the younger version of Mahesh in the film. Some important scenes on Gautham were shot yesterday (July 7) in London," the film's spokesperson told IANS.

"It was after great difficulty that (director) Sukumar convinced Mahesh to feature his son in the film. Initially, Mahesh felt Gautham was too young to enter films," he added.

Named after his father, Mahesh's seven-year old son, Gautham Krishna will be seen in a flashback episode.

"1: Nenokkadine" is being currently shot in different parts of Europe. The film also features debutante Kriti Shanon, Sayaji Shinde, Kelly Dorji, Vikram Singh, Srinivasa Reddy, Nassar and Pradeep Rawat.

The project is produced by Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta and Anil Sunkara under the banner of 14 Reels Entertainment.
