Akhil Akkineni, who is basking in the glory of his latest offering Hello, has opened up on various things including what went through him when his maiden film Akhil bombed at the ticket windows.
“I was quite low then. I didn’t meet anyone. I didn’t come out of house. I was so disappointed with the film’s result,” Akhil divulged. However, Akhil said he hasn’t given it up. Akhil apparently watched his debut film for over 30 times in order to guage what went wrong and where he needs to improve. Akhil humbly accepted the failure of the film and taken complete responsibility for the film’s failure.
“Dad has no role in finalizing Akhil. I had heard the story and it was my own decision to take up the film. So I take total responsibility for the film’s failure,” said Akhil.
Akhil said he was out of that ‘low feeling’ only after Vikram narrated him Hello and he got into work mode to overcome the effect of Akhil debacle.
Akhil added that he would also watch Hello again and again the next ten days only to check where should he improve. Akhil said that business is important but he said he is quite happy that he has done a good film. ” The satisfaction that a good film gives is more important than anything,” said Akhil.
When asked about clash with MCA, he responded, “Probably the numbers of Hello would have been better if it hadn’t clashed (with MCA), but certainly I think two films could be accommodated. Audiences are willing to accept two films.”
Akhil said he will be listening to the final versions of two stories on Jan 5th and he said he would finalize and make a formal announcement on his next film on Jan 10th. Akhil said he can’t take any break hereafter and said he would like to start working on his next film immediately. When asked whether his dad Nagarjuna will produce his next film as well, Akhil retorted saying, “No, it will be produced by others.”
