As the heir to Akkineni Nagarjuna, Akhil Akkineni entered the industry with high expectations. Despite his handsome looks and impressive physique, none of his five films as a hero have been blockbusters, much to the disappointment of both him and Akkineni fans. His recent movie ‘Agent’ also flopped, so Akhil is determined to deliver a grand treat to his fans with a hit this time. However, even a year and a half after ‘Agent,’ Akhil has not announced any projects yet. But recently, exciting news about Akhil’s next movie has emerged, raising fans’ expectations.
Periodic Drama!
News about Akhil’s next project is creating a buzz on social media. It is being promoted as a periodic action drama. Furthermore, it’s reported that the film will be produced under the Annapurna Studios banner owned by his family, with Akkineni Nagarjuna himself likely to produce it. Murali Kishore, known for ‘Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha’, is rumored to be directing this film. An official announcement regarding this big project is expected soon, and pre-production has already started. There’s a strong buzz that the director Murali Kishore has already finalized the script.
Double Treat Coming Soon!
In addition to the periodic action drama, there’s talk in Tollywood circles that Akhil is nearly confirmed for another project under the UV Creations banner, to be directed by newcomer Anil Kumar, who previously worked as an assistant director on Prabhas’s ‘Saaho’. The story pitched by Anil Kumar has greatly appealed to Akhil, who immediately greenlit the script. It wouldn’t be surprising if Akhil announces these two films simultaneously, promising a double treat for his fans in the coming days.
Have You Noticed Akhil’s New Look?
Akhil is currently undergoing a makeover for his new project. He has changed his look for the periodic action drama, recently appearing at various events sporting long hair and a beard, similar to the transformation Mahesh Babu underwent for the SSMB 29 project. Compared to the past, Akhil has significantly bulked up, appearing even more handsome and raising expectations for his future project. Fans are eagerly hoping that Akhil will finally hit a blockbuster success with his upcoming projects.
Where is ‘Agent’?
‘Agent,’ directed by Surender Reddy and featuring Akhil in the lead, was released last year on April 28 with huge expectations but unexpectedly flopped, leading to dismal box office collections. However, the OTT rights were acquired by SonyLIV, which announced streaming from May 19 last year. Yet, to date, the film hasn’t been streamed. There was significant social media discussion about when ‘Agent’ would arrive on OTT. Despite repeated announcements by SonyLIV that streaming would begin soon, it has not materialized, leading many to give up thinking about ‘Agent’.
