Not to be a spoilsport even before the shooting of the second film of Akhil has officially commenced but all the signs point towards another Akhil in the making. Here’s how things are going for the movie so far which is exactly in contradiction with what Nagarjuna said about Akhil’s failure.
Akhil’s second movie with director Vikram Kumar was announced after more than a year of deliberation. It was said that this would be a love story showing Akhil in new light far away from his saving the world heroics in Akhil. This was in tune with Nagarjuna’s vision for his son who wanted him to grow slowly as a star.
But Akhil clearly seems to have a different mindset. He has too big ambitions right from the start. He wants to straight away be part of the big league and that’s where all the problem is germinating from. And that’s why the script has reportedly been changed.
For the first film, Nithiin as producer gave the biggest budget ever for a debutant and now Nagarjuna for his second venture is supposedly going to spend a bomb. It will be the most expensive picture in the Annapurna Studios banner’s history. This is exactly what Nagarjuna didn’t want from the beginning but now he seems to have no other choice than to give in to the whims of his doted kid. The film now rests completely on Nagarjuna’s strong acumen in judging scripts.
