Akkineni Akhil’s long-delayed spy thriller Agent is in the making for more than a year now. Yet, the makers are unable to finalize an ideal release date for the film. It was initially supposed to hit the screens in August this year but was postponed indefinitely. There were reports that the Surender Reddy directional will join the Sankranti battle. But, those reports turned out to be untrue. Even February is out of the equation for Agent as many other small and medium-budget films have already announced their arrival in February.
Agent is now struggling to lock a potential date for release as Summer is also jam-packed with plenty of big-ticket releases. Akhil desperately needs a big hit in his career. He pinned a lot of hope on this film and worked hard by going the extra mile to transform himself into the best physique in his career so far. Unfortunately, the film is unable to get an ideal date that will ensure strong openings at the box office.
Agent generated a good buzz because of the striking first-look posters and the swashbuckling teaser. Unfortunately, the hype is dwindling due to the inordinate delay by the makers. They need to lock in a good release date and start promoting the film aggressively to keep the audience interested.
