This Is the Mistake of 'Akhil'?

Amidst huge hype and hoopla, Akkineni Akhil's debut film 'Akhil' had a massive release on the day of Diwali. However, the talk of the movie, right from the benefit shows, wasn't encouraging and so were the below par collections of the movie on the opening day. It was also heard that the movie fell into deficits in some of the key centers in AP and Telangana on the day three of its release. According to the trends, the movie may collect Rs.18+ crores in its full run world wide.

"Had the makers not done some basic mistakes, the movie would have got a better mileage," says a source. "In spite of it being his debut film, 'Akhil' film was compared to the films of some established superstars of Tollywood. Akhil too was compared to those superstars and was projected he would replace the positions of those stars.  If at all the debut hero was allowed to do two or three movies and then was set to be compared with the established stars, it would have been a sensible strategy from Akhil's camp," added the source. 

'Akhil' was direced by VV Vinayak on Shresht Movies. Sayesha Saigal has done the romantic interest of 'Akhil'. Meanwhile, Akhil is leaving for Goa for holidaying. The details of his second venture are expected to be out after his arrival to Hyderabad from Goa.
