Akhil Akkineni pens an open letter to fans; No mention of Surender Reddy creates speculation

HYDERABAD: Following the underwhelming performance of Akhil Akkineni's previous film Agent at the box office, producer Anil Sunkara admitted that the absence of a well-defined script played a role in the movie's failure. Now, Akhil has decided to address the situation and communicate his gratitude to his fans for standing by him.

In his heartfelt note, he expressed his appreciation for the unwavering support he received. However, notable in his message was the absence of any mention of director Surender Reddy, which can be interpreted as Akhil indirectly attributing the film's lack of success to the director's role and decision-making.

While the exact reasons for the film's failure may vary and involve multiple factors, Akhil's decision to omit Surender Reddy's name has led to speculation about their working relationship and the impact it may have had on the film's outcome.

“To my dearest fans and all my well-wishers. I want to sincerely thank the cast and crew of Agent who dedicated their lives to see our film come to life. While we tried our level best, the film unfortunately didn’t translate the way we wished it would on the screen and we could not deliver a good film for you. A special thanks to my producer Anil garu who was my biggest support system. Thank you to all the distributors who believed in our film and also the media who supported us immensely. The love and energy you all give me is the reason I work and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.” wrote Akhil.
