Akhil Akkineni has had an unfortunate start to his acting career. The actor has been in three films already with none of them being successful and with increasing competition around him, it might seem that the clock’s ticking.
His latest release Mr. Majnu too failed to impress everyone around. Akhil belongs to an illustrious legacy, which is a double edged sword in most cases.
Many actors have fallen prey to this seeming advantage and have hence failed to live up to expectations. Naga Chaitanya, Akhil’s brother, has had a similar beginning to his career but things turned around for him with ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’.
Chaitanya’s career too fluctuated a little but he has been in the thick of things nevertheless and has now got a good foothold in the industry.
The latest update regarding Akhil’s career comes from the signing of his fourth film. Filmmaker Satya Pinisetty, who had made the bilingual ‘Malupu’ with his brother Adhi Pinisetty, has apparently approached Akhil with the idea for an action-thriller.
Akhil has, in fact, liked the premise and requested for a bound script before confirming. Nagarjuna, his father, too has liked the idea and given the needed validation.
Annapurna Studios, the homegrown production house, is likely to produce the film. With all the required backing in place, it’d would be interesting to see how the project fares.
However, new reports have surfaced online stating that Sukumar might don the director’s hat for Akhil’s next, although that’s still a speculation at this stage.
