As an actor, Nithin had his own share of ups and downs but undertaking the debut heroic Akkineni Akhil film ‘Akhil’ as a producer taught him many valuable lessons. Directed by VV Vinayak with special are, this socio fantasy project has been in headlines from last few months due to an aggressive promotional strategy. However, ‘Akhil’ missed the Dasara release date and now ready to strike the theaters as a Diwali cracker.
As reported earlier, Akhil’s father Nagarjuna expressed lot of worries on tightening many VFX areas after watching the first copy of film. Apparently, Nithin and Sudhakar Reddy have spent bomb of a budget on this project which is far above the untested business stamina in Akhil. Respecting Nagarjuna’s concerns, Nithin is said to have spent extra money and corrected few of those CG effects to bring out an enhanced output.
What’s surprising to hear is, Nagarjuna is informed to be not completely happy as he wants everything to be picture perfect and doesn’t matter spending few more weeks delay in release. From producer’s perspective, Diwali festive occasion can be a real gold mine to sit on. So, Nithin’s repeated requests to Nagarjuna finally resulted in announcing November 11th as ‘Akhil’ release date.
