“I feel, this is my first film” - Akhil

“We wanted no CG in the film even though there were several action episodes involved. Mr.Bra Brown and his team flew down to Hyderabad and worked for 30 days schedule and this is when I was trained in the stunts” Says Akhil Akkineni, who bagged a hit with ‘Hello’ under Vikram K Kumar’s direction. The star spoke to the media…

“A girl has messaged me saying that I stole her heart. That’s the biggest compliment. Also, several of my friends are telling me that I’ve improved in the acting parameter. Vikram doesn’t like forcing songs into the story unless it is seamless with the situation. Also, the children’s episode is crucial for the film and that is why we decided to keep it longer. I was excited before the film’s actual release because I’m hyperactive. Only after listening to the positive reviews from the U.S, I could sleep properly. We knew that the film would be loved by the audience overseas and it proved right. My father was heavily involved in the film. So much so that he put his own film on hold and took part in the R.R and editing of the film. My brother Chai too, called me up to appreciate my acting. Mr.Chiranjeevi praised my acting during the press meet. For those who think the story is not fresh, well, Vikram did his best to bring out a fresh take by associating with the concept of a cell phone. After the film, I’ve got to believe in fate and destiny.

I’m not looking for any particular genres right now, If I like the story, I’ll do the film. I like working with Ms. Ramya Krishna and families and ladies are loving the film. I feel this is my first film. There’s no truth in surrounding the rumors about my next film. It’s true that I’ve met with Vamsi Paidipally but we haven’t discussed any story yet. I’ll announce the details of my next film on 10th January and am planning to start shooting from February”
