Akhil Akkineni was hailed as a perfect star material even before his silver screen debut a couple of years ago. But unfortunately, Akhil tasted two straight disasters with Akhil and Hello.
This prompted the makers of Akhil’s upcoming film ‘Mr Majnu’ to not splurge money unnecessarily and instead make a medium budgeted film like other upcoming stars. Compared to his first two movies, Mr Majnu is Akhil’s least expensive film and also far from any special attractions.
Initially, expectations on Mr Majnu among fans weren’t too high. However, the neatly cut trailer which was released a couple of days ago received a decent response from fans and it raised the expectations. Thanks to NTR’s presence at the pre-release event, Mr Majnu managed to gain attraction from all quarters.
All these factors resulted in the sudden rise of positive vibes on Mr Majnu. Another advantage for the film is that it releases on January 25, when there’s hardly any competition. Hello ended up as a failure as it was released alongside a commercial film like MCA.
But with Mr Majnu, things seem to be in Akhil’s favour, and it looks like his good times have started. Even if Mr Majnu turns out to be an averagely decent film like Hello, it will go on to become a hit. Whether Akhil will get third time lucky or not remains to be seen.
