Akhil disappointed Akkineni fans again

0

When Akhil made his much-hyped entry, the Akkineni fans expected him to emerge as big star and even predicted that he would compete with tier-1 Tollywood stars. There was massive hype for his launch film Akhil- The Power of Jua and it opened with record numbers but the content failed big time and the project ended up a disaster.

From there Akhil has constantly struggled to deliver success. Most Eligible Bachelor did a decent job at the box office but couldn’t satisfy the expectations of Akkineni fans.

Akkineni fans and audience expected a lot and had high hopes on Agent directed by Surender Reddy. Unfortunately, this action thriller also failed at the box office and disappointed everyone. The film emerged as one of Tollywood’s biggest disasters.

After Agent, there have been no movie announcements from Akhil. His next film is already committed with a debut director under UV Creations and still no announcement has happened so far. It’s been one year since Agent’s release and fans expected that an update would come on Akhil’s birthday but the lack of it has disappointed the fans a lot.

Opinion: Pawan Kalyan Has Finally Achieved A ‘Leader’ Image

0

‘Power Star’ Pawan Kalyan is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in Telugu, with a humongous fan following among youth. However, his career planning and script planning are poor, to say the least. The fact that he has encountered more flops than any other actor in Telugu is a testament to that. As Kalyan himself admitted, he was never a passionate actor; in fact, he is not even interested in films, to be more precise. But ironically, he has the most craziest fan basein the Telugu states.

The 2019 Andhra Pradesh general elections were a nightmare for Kalyan. After receiving a huge response upon his political entry, he lost the elections from both the constituencies he contested from. One of the major reasons behind this debacle is the image Kalyan has had among people. To put it straight, a major chunk of voters still saw Kalyan as a ‘Film Star’ and not a politician. And his previous political appearance during Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam party, its electoral performance, and the sudden merger in Congress have further heightened the image.

After this election’s result, Kalyan chose to completely sideline his acting career to focus on politics. He was so busy serving people that he chose to star in three back-to-back remakes since they can be wrapped up in quick durations. Today, Pawan Kalyan is an outright politician and a part-time actor. In other words, people in Andhra Pradesh now see him as a ‘Leader’ first and not a film star. Kalyan, along with his PR team, has succeeded in building the image, and the upcoming general elections must reflect that. Jai Hind!

Akhil Akkineni and Surender Reddy collaborated for the film, Agent. This film released in 2023 after several postponements. But the film didn’t perform well making it another flop for Akhil who was waiting for a big hit. The film didn’t release stream on OTT after the release interestingly. Now, the producer Anil Sunkara responded on Agent OTT release.

Many audiences who didn’t watch waited for Agent’s streaming on OTT. The Producer tweeted about the same saying they had informed a couple of times about that.

Many films that underperform at the Box Office release on OTT as soon as possible. But Agent’s story became different here.

The film was made on a large scale but disappointed the fans and Audiences.

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff starrer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is nearing its release and the entire unit is busy with back to back promotions. Unfortunately for the makers, there is zero buzz and excitement for the movie and this has got them worried. And now, poor advance bookings ahead of the film’s release have led to the makers taking a huge decision.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was announced for 10th April release and the bookings were opened recently. The response to bookings are disastrous, to say the least. Due to these booking trends, the team has postponed the release to 11th April on Ramzan day. This might be the first time that makers of any movie have postponed the release because of disastrous advances.

The action thriller has been shot across Mumbai, London, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, and Jordan, and a lot of budget has been spent on some heavy-duty action sequences. Both Akshay and Tiger are in serious need of a box-office success but the poor bookings and audience interest trends are surely a worrying sign. The film features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a negative role, while also starring Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F.
