An Arrow Towards Infinity: What’s It Akhil?

Young hero Akhil and his Vadina are jointly endorsing one shopping-mall brand in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. On the eve of the inauguration of the new branch of this shopping mall, both have attended the event to cut the ribbon.

Apparently, when extended his hand to cut the ribbon at the event, a newly etched tattoo on his right hand caught the attention of many. He got an arrow carved, whose head is pointing towards an infinity symbol. Is this a permanent tattoo or something made for his new film under Vikram K Kumar’s direction? That’s something Akhil has to reveal.

On the other hand, Akkineni stars are becoming the big tattoo bearers of Tollywood already. Long back Nagarjuna got an ‘Om’ symbol etched on his bicep. Then we have Samantha having the letters ‘you’ as a tattoo on the back of her neck, while her waist features a ‘rose’ image tattoo. Then both Naga Chaitanya and Sam got an arrow tattoo etched on the side of the wrist, whose Latin meaning is ‘forward’.

Of course, tattoos are a craze not just among film celebs but in urbane youths too. In olden days people used to look them down as ‘pachha bottu’, a thing of illiterates. But trends have changed now.
