Amid Agent OTT Release Delay, Akhil Akkineni All Set To Announce His Next Venture

Akhil Akkineni’s Next Movie and Agent Update: A Simpler Look

It’s been more than a year since Akhil Akkineni’s movie “Agent” came out in theaters. Even though the movie didn’t do well at the box office, fans are still waiting for it to be released on streaming services (OTT platforms). There’s no news yet about when that will happen.

In the meantime, there are rumors that Akkineni will announce his next movie very soon. Some people think he might even reveal it on his birthday, which is coming up on April 8th, 2024. There’s also talk that Anil Kumar, who has worked as an assistant director on big movies like “Radhe Shyam” and “Saaho,” might be directing Akkineni’s next project.

Here’s a quick recap about “Agent”:

• It’s a Telugu action spy movie that came out in 2023.
• Surender Reddy directed it, and Vakkantham Vamsi wrote the story.
• Akhil Akkineni played the lead role, along with actors like Mammootty, Dino Morea, Sakshi Vaidya, and Vikramjeet Virk. This was the first Telugu movie for both Vaidya and Morea.
• Filming for “Agent” started in September 2020 and happened in places like Hyderabad, Budapest, Visakhapatnam, and Manali. But the release got pushed back a few times because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other problems during production.
• Finally, “Agent” came out in theaters on April 28th, 2023. However, critics didn’t like it much, and it also didn’t make a lot of money. The producer, Anil Sunkara, and Akhil Akkineni even apologized publicly because they admitted the movie started filming before the script was completely finished.

So, why can’t you watch “Agent” online yet? There’s a legal issue between the producer and the distributor of the movie. A court has stopped the movie from being streamed because of a disagreement about money. Reports say that the distributor, Vizag Distributor Battula Satyanarayana, filed a complaint with the court, claiming that the producer, Anil Sunkara, cheated him during their deal.
