Akhil Akkineni has been busy with his upcoming film, Agent, for quite some time now, having even bulked up for the role. The movie is directed by Surender Reddy, and the initial shooting of the film took place at a rapid pace, with the film even announced to be released for Dasara this year. However, things changed soon, with the shooting being halted due to various reasons, the main one being differences between director Surender Reddy and producer Anil Sunkara, over the budget of the film.
Recently, these issues got resolved, with the director and the producer coming to an understanding. However, there’s still some delay in the shooting of the film, with the film now not expected to be released in 2022. Sources are saying that the film wouldn’t be released until 2023, as there’s a lot of portion left to shoot, for the film to be completed.
On the other hand, Malayalam Superstar Mammootty will be seen in a key role in the film, while Sakshi Vaidya will be playing the leading lady of the film.
