Akkineni Sumanth starrer Naruda Donoruda’s audio is going to be launched tonight in Hyderabad at N Convention. The makers are highly confident that the film is going to become a huge hit as they have already got the confidence with the theatrical trailer response. Pallavi Subash is playing the female lead role in the film. The film has Thanikella Bharani playing the important role. The makers are launching the audio in a grand manner, and they have invited Akkineni brothers Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni for the audio launch event.

Sri Charan Pakala, who is riding high with back to back hits of Guntur Talkies, Kshanam is composing the music for the film. The film is being directed by a newcomer Mallik Ram. Annapurna Studios is the production house backing up the film. The film is slated for a release on 4th November.

Akhil Akkineni, the second son of Akkineni Nagarjuna, has failed to make an impact in Tollywood. His first film ‘Akhil,’ ended as a dud at the box office. However, now Akhil’s second film has been confirmed in the direction of Manam fame, Vikram Kumar.

A source close to the unit revealed that Vikram is leaving no stone unturned to make the film a huge success. The source further added that as per the story, the hero belongs to Hindu’s family and heroine belongs to Muslim’s family. They both get married and fall in love with each other.

An interval twist has been designed very innovatively. The parents of hero and heroine come to know that the hero and heroine are cousins, and they are relatives.

Well, the storyline is skyrocketing the expectations beyond the film. Let us wait and see how Vikram will mesmerize the audience with his interesting family drama.

One look at the latest photo shoot of the young Akkineni scion, Akhil, we can say that he is ready for the wedding.

Akhil has turned into a model for fashion designer Shilpa Reddy, who is a good friend of the Akkineni family. The Hyderabad-based designer’s new men’s ethnic wear line was unveiled by Akhil as he has turned a model for a photoshoot sporting the men’s wear.

“Very happy to launch the very first men’s collection of @shilpareddy217 love the colours and the vibes :)”, tweeted Akhil alongside posting few pics from the photo shoot.

As Akhil is rumored to be dating Shriya Bhupal, a city based fashion designer, the young actor’s growing interest in the field of fashion has become a talking point in film circles. Meanwhile, Akhil Akkineni’s second film is yet to be announced officially, and there is a huge confusion surrounding it.

Akhil Akkineni was made fun of by handsome hunk Rana Daggubati during the recently held SIIMA 2016 awards event held in Singapore.

After Akhil was getting off the stage post receiving the best debutant male trophy for ‘Akhil’, Rana took a dig at him by asking his age. Unknowing of Rana’s intentional satire, Akhil replied that he was 22. Rana took no time to break the ice by saying, “I’m 32 and I am still single. Why are you so eager to marry at such young age?”

Akhil was shocked with Rana’s public revelation of his relationship status. Akhil kept quiet and smiled, but onlookers said that Akhil’s face turned red as Rana made those comments in front of a huge gathering.

It may be noted that Akhil is in love with young Hyderabad-based designer Shriya Bhopal and their engagement might happen very soon.

The news of Akhil Akkineni’s engagement with a young fashion designer has startled the fans of the legendary family.

While many stories are being circulated in media about the young lad’s engagement, the actor seems to have revealed something interesting to his close friends. It is believed that Akhil’s engagement is not done yet, but he has already introduced Shriya Bhupal to his parents.

Nag and Amala were said to be not against his son’s choice as Shriya’s family has been close to Akkineni for years. Akhil is said to be bonding closely with Shriya for a long time now. Even the family of Shriya was happy with her selection.

In his latest media interaction, even Nag said that Akhil’s engagement is not done yet, but he is seeing someone close to the family.

If latest reports in tinsel town are anything to go by, Akhil Akkineni, the youngest actor from the reputed Akkineni family, could settle down in life well before settling in Tollywood.

The just-1-film-old Akhil is said to be head over heels in love with Shriya Bhupal, a fashion designer based in Hyderabad. She is the daughter of city-based entrepreneur Shalini Bhupal.

A source close to Akhil revealed that Akhil and Shriya have been dating for a long time now. The duo has already informed their families about their serious romance, but the talk about engagement is a call to be taken by the family heads, added the source.

Sources from the Akkineni camp opine that the engagement ceremonies of both Naga Chaitanya (with top actress Samantha) and Akhil might soon be held. It will be a double celebratory moment for the fans then.

As of now, there is no clarity on the next film of Akhil Akkineni. Akkineni Akhil’s first film Akhil failed miserably at the box office. The makers are highly disappointed with the sudden debacle of the movie. Soon after that, there was buzz that Vamshi Paidipally will team up with Akhil for the film. After a series of event, Vamshi Paidipally slowly came out of the compound. Later on, the names of Koratala Siva and Hanu Raghavapudi were heard for the film. But right now, it also looks like not happening as Koratala is planning to team up with star heroes and Hanu’s story is not impressive.

The buzz intensifies that Akhil will act in the direction of Kalyan Krishna, who made the hit film Soggade Chinni Nayana. Moreover, there is a sentiment in the movie industry that the second film of star hero sons will be a hit. Like Magadheera for Charan, Arya for Allu Arjun, Student No.1 for Tarak and Ye Maya Chesave for Chay Akhil is hoping that Kalyan’s film will bring him good fortunes.

Akkineni Akhil is one young hero who maintains a healthy relation with many of his contemporaries.

On the eve of Manchu Manoj and his wife Pranathi Reddy’s first wedding anniversary, Akhil has recently surprised them by presenting cute puppy. The blue eyed Alaskan Malamute breed puppy was named Zoya by the Manchu couple.

Manoj was quite ecstatic after receiving the puppy. He broke the news by posting, ‘New addition to our family. Pl welcomeZoya. I thank Akhil for giddying us ‘Zoya’ for our Anniversary. Zoya is blue-eyed Alaskan Malamute.’

Akhil is known to be a dog lover.He has imbibed this quality from his actress turned animal activist mother, Amala Akkineni. With this anniversary gift to Manoj, Akhil has proved that he loves to be a friend of his competitors despite pressure from fans.

Akkineni Akhil had made a dream debut with dream cast and crew, but the terrible script and screenplay made ‘Akhil’ one of the biggest disasters.

Since then, he has been hitting headlines quite often with rumors on his second flick. The other day, Akhil had himself clarified about his second film saying that Vamsi Paidipally, who has been in the news to direct him, has not walked out of the project. Akhil, however, said that he was not sure whether Vamsi will direct his second film or not but they are going to work sooner or later.

When asked if he was listening to any other scripts, he admitted being in touch with two young directors but he refrained from naming them. So, Akhil is not looking for an action packed earth saving thriller but just a youthful love story.

Hanu Raghavapudi and Kishore Tirumala are the directors as per sources.

It is heard that ‘Laila O Laila’ is being considered as the potential title for Akhil Akkineni’s second film.

After the debacle of his debut film “Akhil”, Akhil Akkineni took very long time to finalize his second movie. After listening many stories and consulting various directors, ‘Oopiri’ director Vamsi Paidipally was entrusted with the responsibility yafter Nagarjuna was impressed with him while making ‘Oopiri’.

Vamsi is currently working on the story to match it to the image of Akhil. As the film is said to be a romantic entertainer, makers felt that ‘Laila O Laila’ would be an apt title. Naga Chaitanya has already made a movie with ‘Oka Laila Kosam’ title.

Even though Akhil’s Second film is said to be the remake of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’, there is no official confirmation regarding the same.

Akhil Akkineni might have tasted a horrible flop with his debut film ‘Akhil’ but it didn’t stop him from bagging a rare honor which was not yet bestowed upon any other Telugu star.

Akhil will feature on popular magazine GQ. It is heard that a 10-page feature story on Akhil will be published soon with his candid interview and profile shoot as special attractions. Akhil is said to be very excited and has already finished the 3-day photoshoot in Abu Dhabi. The feature story will be published soon in GQ.

Akhil is already popular across the nation with his international brand endorsements, and this upcoming GQ feat is expected to take his stardom to sky level.

GQ magazine has carved out a niche for itself in the fashion arena. Several Hollywood, Bollywood, and sports stars featured in the magazine.

With a mixed review being received by ‘Akhil,’ Akkineni Akhil is choosing films carefully rather relying on stardom. Now, Akhil is keen over director Krish and showing his interest to act under this versatile director.

Akhil, as we all know, has gained a huge popularity even before ‘Akhil’ released. Thanks to media publicity and Nagarjuna for elevating Akhil. Cashing upon the stardom that Nagarjuna has, Akhil simply gained as much following, in fact, more than his fathers. There could be many reasons behind it as he is very well known one, recognised for his charm and interest in cricket, has done few ads before debut film, etc.

Now, post ‘Akhil’ it is quite different for him. ‘Akhil’ which was expected of doing much, didn’t do what was expected. Even though the film received a mixed talk, Akhil is still a star hero and has the capacity of pulling off a blockbuster with ease, but he is careful now while choosing film.

Seems like he chose to act in a partly non-commercial film rather than a hero in a commercial film and most importantly in a film that will be a sure hit. To support these line rumours in Tollywood rose saying that Akhil will be doing a film under the direction of Krish.

Krrish’s latest flick was ‘Kanche’ starring Varun Tej. This film is a periodic Drama that revolves during WWII.

Shall wait and see whether Krish directs Akhil.

After Akhil and Bruce Lee turns flops , Ram Charan and Akhil decided to work for Trivikram Srinivas to score a hit movie at the box-office.

 

Wordsmith Trivikram is one of the most popular directors across Telugu Cinema. His films don’t need huge fight sequences nor large casting. All he need is a good actor who can spell the punch dialogues correctly.

His films are watched again and again for only a single reason, the dialogues. It is a dream for many Tollywood actors to work with S.S.Rajamouli, but it is a wish to act under Trivikaram’s direction. Such huge respect and following this director has.

Now, to work under his direction two Tollywood heroes are Ram Charan and Akhil are sincerely putting their efforts to impress Trivikram and has already started lobbying.

Trivikram has a good rapport with Mega family. He has done two films each with Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun. All he is left out is with Ram Charan. To make this combination come true, Pawan insisted Trivikram for preparing a story for Charan and assured that he will produce the film.

Following Pawan’s orders, Trivikram prepared a story and planned to bring this on sets in 2016. Ram Charan, who is in the US, will come back and finish ‘Thanni Oruvan’ remake and will mostly join Trivikram, say sources.

While everyone thought that Charan-Trivikram’s will come next year, all of a sudden Akhil interfered in this combination. Akkineni Akhil, who made his debut with ‘Akhil,’ received a mixed review and is eagerly waiting for a huge hit.

As a part of this, Akkineni camp has approached Trivikram and asked to come up with a story for Akhil. They even offered a huge remuneration if he directs Akhil for his next film.

With Pawan Kalyan asking a film for Ram Charan and Akkineni Akhil coming up a good proposal Trivikram is put in a state of confusion. Shall see who will be that lucky hero Trivikram directs next.

Akhil Movie Review: The debut of a Star’s son is not at all a small thing to look on. From its inception to the release, every aspect is done with utmost care. One such debuting Star son is Akhil Akkineni, grandson of legend Akkineni Nageshwararao garu and son of Yuvasamrat and Manmadhudu Akkineni Nagarjuna garu. Akhil is the third gen actor from the Akkineni family. Though he is seen in the climax of Akkineni Family’s multistarrer, directed by Vikram K Kumar, Akhil, The Power of Jua under the direction of V V Vinayak garu and produced by Hero Nithin, under Sri Sresth Movies is said to be his full-length debut. Let’s see how the movie is!

Story

Akhil (Akkineni Akhil), is a carefree, happy going lucky guy who enjoys with his friends. He falls in love with a medical student named Divya (Sayesha Saigal). He goes to K V Rajendra Prasad (Rajendra Prasad) to help him in impressing Divya and her family. Divya goes to Europe as things with her are twisted up. A German Scientist named Katrochi, tries to get hold of Jua, which has supernatural powers and protects our Earth from dangerous UV rays, to rule the world with its supernatural powers. When the gang of Scientist Katrochi tries to get hold of Jua, a tribal lad runs away with it to protect it from them. Divya is kidnapped by Mambo as she treats injured tribal lad who has Jua and its information. Akhil then teams up with Johnson & Johnson (Brahmanandam) to save Divya from them. How he saves Divya? How he save Earth from dangerous UV rays on solar eclipse day and Jua from Katrochi forms the rest of the story.

Cast and Performance

Debuting actor Akhil Jua (Junior Akkineni) steals the show all the way, and his dance performances and his fights are eye feast and great to watch. He has all the features and talent to become a star. He needs to improve some more with his facial expressions and acting, and his performance in Akhil is far better than many actors performance of their debut. Sayessha Saigal is glamorous on screen and is a treat to watch. She performs her part very well. But, she doesn’t have much scope in the story as it revolves around Jua. She will grow as a good actress in the coming days. Mahesh Manjrekar gives good performance to the extent of his role. His role has nothing exciting to do. Brahmanandam as Johnson & Johnson, Sapthagiri as Pothe Baburao, Jayaprakash Reddy and Vennela Kishore are wasted in their roles and can be concluded as a total waste. Rajendra Prasad, Hema don’t have much to do in the movie but performs well even with the limited roles they get. African actors

Writing Department

The basic story of Akhil by Veligonda Sreenivas is very thin, and screenplay by V V Vinayak makes it very routine. Dialogues written by Kona Venkat are not so good and are crap in some scenes. The script has so many things in common with the movies like Indiana Jones, Deviputhrudu, Anji. These mixtures made it bad. Treatment of the story is bad, and it is executed in a routine way. There is much to do with the execution and even with the script. V V Vinayak, who is known for his high-octane mass and action films, has directed it in a mediocre way. Many logics go missing in the movie. We can say that Akhil debuted with a routine and not so good script. Totally, it is not a so good script and not so good in its execution also. V V Vinayak concentrated more on showing and showcasing Akhil rather than the script and its content.

Technical Departments

Music by Anoop Rubens and S S Thaman doesn’t live up to the expectations and songs got bad reviews when they were released. Both, young and talented music directors failed to do justice to this prestigious project. Background Score by Manisharma is very good and elevate scenes to the great level, and it can be considered as one of the highlights of the movie. Editing is not so good and has some more to do with the movie. The movie was postponed and makers said they postponed it to get the better quality of VFX shots. But, VFX shots in the movie are bad. They also seem to be inspired from many Hollywood flicks. Vfx shots like Panther shots seem to have been added from Damarukam. Cinematography by Amol Rathod is so good and visuals on screen looks good. His work for the movie is great. Production values by Sri Sresth Movies is great.

Verdict

Most prestigious and much-anticipated movie that marks the full-length debut of Akkineni Akhil fails to live up to the expectations. The first half of the movie sets the pace of the movie, and it has so many illogical and uninteresting scenes made given elevating heroism. The first half of the movie is not so good and also not bad. It also ends in a not so interesting way. Second half starts slowly, and it also has not so interesting scenes. Brahmanandam comes in the second half as Johnson and Johnson and generates some laughs. Many artists are wasted in the movie, and they are not used up to their potential. This movie is all about Akhil, and it showcases Akhil as a handsome lad and his breathtaking dances and fight sequences. Watch if you love some comedy and action.

There is no doubt that Akkineni Akhil’s ‘Akhil’ will be the biggest launch ever in Telugu Cinema, he also capable of bagging up a huge stardom in coming future. While there are few Super Star’s in Telugu, who have the same profile of that of Akhil’s, it took some time to reach to their current identity carried by them.

One of them is Mahesh Babu. Akhil and Mahesh do share a lot of similarities, both are from an acting background, and both have done films in their childhood (though Akhil was an infant while doing ‘Sisindri) and these two are quite handsome and fair skin toned heroes who appear as brothers.

One thing that Akhil is sure to carry better than Mahesh is dancing. Though Mahesh isn’t a bad dancer after all, Akhil seems to be a good dancer when compared.

While our comparison stands here, Akhil has some other similarity that he finds in Mahesh Babu. Akhil says that he and Mahesh share only one thing in common that is their ‘Complexion.’ Akhil feels that his and Mahesh’s skin tone are alike, and he doesn’t compare himself with Tollywood Super Star, as he feels that Mahesh is a better actor that one can compare with.

Akhil has one more thing to say for us; he says that doing a Multi-starrer with Mahesh would be the best film in his career.

V.V.Vinayak directorial ‘Akhil’ is ready to release tomorrow on the eve of Diwali.

Well, Akhil, let’s hope that day comes sooner.

Here is the interesting news about Akkineni Akhil, who is coming up with Akhil tomorrow. Akhil likes dating with Amy Jackson.

Akhil Akkineni, to promote his debut film ‘Akhil’, which is set to hit screens on 11th November, has the other day attended the ‘Konchem Touch Lo Unte Cheptha’ show hosted by popular anchor Pradeep.

The fearless actor made some interesting comments when the anchor asked him about few actresses. Akhil chose British-Indian actress Amy Jackson for dating. The debut actor called her the sexiest actress at present, who sizzled in movies like “I” and Yevadu movies.

He chose Samantha as Friend and Rakul Preet Singh as the heroine of his next film. Sadly, buxom beauty Rashi Khanna will suit as sister to him, said the actor.

Akhil is romancing with Sayesha Saigal in Akhil movie. Directed by VV Vinayak and Nithin produces it.
