Akhil Akkineni's latest spy action-thriller, Agent, hit theaters on April 28 to much fanfare. The movie, which stars Malayalam superstar Mammootty in a prominent role, was highly anticipated by fans who were eager to see Akhil deliver an action-packed performance as a RAW agent. However, despite its star power, the film failed to make a big impact at the box office on its opening day.
Akhil Akkineni's latest release, Agent, may not have fared well at the box office, but his mother Amala Akkineni has come forward to show her support for her son's efforts in the movie. In a recent statement, she acknowledged that while the film had its flaws, she thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Telugu film industry witnessed the release of "Agent" on 28 April 2023, starring Akhil Akkineni, Sakshi Vaidya, Mammootty, Dino Morea, Vikramjeet Virk, and Urvashi Rautela in a special appearance. The film was directed by Surender Reddy and had a budget of 70-80 crores, with a pre-release business of 42 crores. However, the film opened on a disastrous note, grossing an estimated Rs 7 crores worldwide on the first day. On that note, we will discuss why "Agent" fell short of expectations.
A mediocre spy thriller with a strong lead
Akhil Akkineni, an actor in the work, is said to look "superb," but his characterisation is criticised for being over the top at times. The production values are praised for being "top-notch," suggesting that the visuals and special effects are of high quality. However, the BGM, or background music, is described as "bad," which may detract from the overall viewing experience.
Agent Day-1 Worldwide Collections
The film was made on a budget of nearly Rs 80 crore, and the poor opening day collections have raised concerns about the film's ability to recover its costs. The coming weekend will be critical for "Agent," as it will determine whether the film can sustain the box office test.
'Agent' fails to live up to expectations
The Akkineni Akhil fans were highly anticipating the release of the movie "Agent," which they believed would elevate Akhil to the status of a superstar. However, their dreams have come crashing down with the movie receiving negative reviews from all sections, including Akkineni fans. The movie, directed by the ace director Surender Reddy, is being labeled as a 'bore fest,' and it seems to have misfired in terms of entertainment value. This disappointment has left Akkineni fans disheartened, as they had high hopes for their favorite actor's career. Despite the efforts of the talented cast and crew, it seems that "Agent" has not been able to live up to the expectations of the audience, resulting in a major setback for Akhil's career.
'Agent' review roundup
Based on the reviews that have been circulating, it appears that "Agent," is not faring well with audiences and critics. The feedback suggests that the film is a colossal disaster, indicating that it has been met with widespread disappointment and negative reactions. The movie has failed to meet the expectations of its audience and has received harsh criticism for its overall quality. It also implies that the negative reviews and feedback have been numerous and significant, leading to a poor reception for the film.

Unconventional casting of Sakshi Vaidya
According to reports, Surender Reddy discovered Sakshi through her Instagram profile, which caught his attention due to her striking looks and impressive body of work. Despite not having any prior experience in mainstream cinema, Surender Reddy was confident that Sakshi had the potential to deliver a standout performance in 'Agent.' He was convinced that her natural talent and dedication to her craft would make her a perfect fit for the role he had in mind. Sakshi was reportedly overjoyed when she received the offer to star in Agent. She felt grateful to Surender Reddy for believing in her abilities and giving her the opportunity to showcase her talent on the big screen. She has been working hard to prepare for the role.
Agent's poor reports
"Agent" is a spy action thriller film starring Akhil Akkineni in the lead role. The film is directed by Surender Reddy. Upon its initial release, the film received poor reports from critics and audiences alike, indicating that it did not meet expectations. This was a surprise, as Surender Reddy is a well-known director with a track record of delivering successful films. The underwhelming box office performance of "Akhil Akkineni's Agent" suggests that the film was a misfire and did not resonate with audiences as expected. Despite the initial setback, the film's team may still hope to recover its investment in the long run through various means, such as digital streaming or overseas distribution.

Dino Morea on making Tollywood debut
''Yes, I am making my debut for the Telugu film industry, and I do feel like a debutant for this audience because this audience is aware of me but has not really seen me. They are mostly only used to seeing Telugu films. For instance, yesterday I was promoting the film in a place called Warangal. These are small towns and that's how they promote films over here. There were about 10,000 people who had just come for a pre-film release event, and it was insane. The love they have for cinema there is just nuts. Yes, I am nervous and I do feel like a debutant. It is like I am starting all over again.''

Surender Reddy’s 'Agent' is a hard film to sit through. The way the narrative unfolds, it truly seems like the makers believe they’re offering us a novel story, when they’re really not. Right from the get-go, you’re thrown into chaos and while it all seems interesting on paper, the execution feels half-hearted.
Dino Morea on preparing his role
"Not really. We just wanted to bring our own madness in, and acting wise, my director again knew exactly how he wanted me to play this character. Surinder sees the whole film in his head. I saw it a certain way, but he saw it in a different way. To be honest, I went with his vision because, ultimately, he knows exactly what the audience loves to watch. The acting I did in Empire is far different from the acting I have done here. And I am quite curious to see how it turns out in terms of the audience reaction. I am assuming they will like it because Surinder makes commercial films and he knows exactly what the audiences want. So I just submitted myself completely to the director, and said, "You tell me what you want, and I will give it to you."

Dino Morea on working with Akhil
He's young and he's got so much energy. His fitness levels are great, and he's looking great in the film. Besides working, our off-screen camaraderie is also outstanding. We struck up a really good friendship. The experience of shooting this film has been fantastic. They really made me feel welcome because this is my debut film in Telugu. I totally respected and loved the experience.
Dino Morea on working with Mammootty
This is my second film with Mammootty sir. I did a small part in a film called ‘Kandakonden Kandakonden’, a Tamil film, long ago, and that was my first experience working with him. I am now working with him after about 18–20 years. We all know that Mammootty sir is one of the finest actors we have in this country, so watching him on set was an absolute pleasure. Doing scenes opposite him and with him is just outstanding because our characters oppose each other in this film, and for me, I felt it was always a challenge. I wanted to prove myself and just be fantastic in front of him. So while watching and observing, I was also trying to get better, and that just brings out the best in every actor.
Urvashi Rautela, who is Bollywood's youngest superstar, has always amazed the audience with her scintillating beauty and acting prowess. Urvashi with her sizzling dance moves has gifted the Bollywood industry with some popular dance steps. With her talent and beauty, it's no wonder that she continues to be one of the most popular actresses in the industry. Urvashi and Akhil's song Wild Saala has been released and in just a few hours the song has created a buzz over the internet.
Non-theatrical rights of 'Agent'
According to reports, it has been stated that Akhil Akkineni's movie "Agent" has sold its non-theatrical rights for a whopping 33 crore rupees long back. Non-theatrical rights typically include digital and satellite rights, which can be a major source of revenue for a movie. This amount indicates a significant interest in the movie from buyers and suggests that the movie is expected to do well at the box office. With this huge sale of non-theatrical rights, the expectations from the movie have further increased.
