Akhil Akkineni’s Agent is the biggest budget film in tier-2 Heros. The team of Agent has released the teaser in July, in which the visuals and Action episodes looked so grand and the audience was stunned to see Akhil in a six-pack look.
The film budget is said to be more than 70 Crores. Seeing the craze around the movie, at one time the makers had quoted very huge prices for the movie and even distributors were interested but after the debacle of Liger, distributors changed their mindset.
They got a feeling that it will be risky to put huge amounts on a young and non-star hero. The agent was slated for Dussera release but due to multiple delays in the shooting, it got postponed.
Recently the makers of Agent surprised everyone by announcing that they are going to release the film for Sankranthi. As we know there are already two big star films and one dubbed film have been confirmed for the Sankranthi release, so due to the competition Agent will not get huge business offers and the theatrical business is expected to be in the range of 40 Crores in Telugu States.
But surprisingly producers still want to release Agent on Sankranthi only, maybe they are feeling it will do good in all languages especially in Hindi because Sankranthi season will not have any Hindi films in competition. By doing so they can easily recover the budget with the help of non-theatrical business.
Agent movie has Akhil Akkineni in the lead role, directed by Surender Reddy. Anil Sunkara is producing this movie under the AK Entertainments banner. Akhil, who got his first commercial hit in his career with Most Eligible Bachelor, worked hard for Agent.
The movie is being made as an Indian spy thriller. Sakshi Vaidya acted opposite Akhil in this movie. With Agent, Akhil is also looking to gain a pan-India image.
