Akkineni’s young hero Akhil arrived in Tollywood with a lot of hype surrounding him. His debut film ‘Akhil’ was a disaster and it affected his career badly. After the initial debacle, he tried to bounce back with a classy love story like ‘Hello’ which got a good talk but failed commercially. His third movie ‘Mr. Majnu’ was a failure too. He finally scored his first hit with ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’. This romantic comedy directed by ‘Bommarillu’ Bhaskar was loved by the audience and the fans were elated with Akhil’s maiden success.
The handsome hero teamed up with stylish director Surender Reddy who is known for his movies like ‘Kick’, ‘Race Gurram’, ‘Sye Raa’ and ‘Dhruva’. He is known for giving a stylish makeover to heroes and the posters which came out showcase Akhil as a macho man with a perfectly sculpted body. The long and curly hair suited the hero too and the makers have titled the film ‘Agent’. Akhil will be seen as a spy in this movie and sources say that ‘Agent’ is going to have a pan-Indian release.
Due to the craze of Telugu films in the North market, every producer is making moves to release their movie on a pan-Indian scale. Akhil’s looks and the story of ‘Agent’ may connect to the North market as per sources. News is that ‘Agent’ will also have Malayalam legend Mammootty playing a key role. With all these factors working in favor of the film, the makers are aiming to capitalize on the pan-Indian market.
There are a few people who are making sarcastic comments that Akhil got his first hit recently and is now planning to go pan-Indian level. Not just netizens but a few film experts are also advising Akhil to stay in Tollywood for now but no one knows the scale of ‘Agent’ which may suit the nationwide audience. Let us see what happens in the coming days. Thaman is scoring the music while top writer Vakkantam Vamsi has penned the story. Produced by Rambrahmam Sunkara under AK Entertainments banner along with Surender 2 Cinema banner. Young beauty Sakshi Vaidya has been brought on board to romance Akhil in this movie.
