Akkineni scion Akhil is going to face a litmus test this Friday. His third film Mr. Majnu is going to have a solo release at box office. Akhil is very desperate to deliver the much needed commercial hit with Mr. Majnu. His debut film tanked heavily, but he won critical acclaim for his energetic performance. His second film Hello received good reviews but couldn’t succeed commercially at box office. So, he has pinned all his hopes on Mr. Majnu.
Mr. Majnu is carrying good buzz and the impressive teasers and trailers have been well received by audience. The advance bookings are decent and the solo release will give a big advantage for the film to open very strongly. As Sankranthi films have slowed down, Akhil will hope that Mr. Majnu will click at box office and as there is no competition, even with above average talk, the film might work well at ticket windows.
Venky Atluri impressed with his debut directional Tholi Prema. He is once again targeting youth audience with a contemporary romantic drama that has good dose of emotional content. Akkineni fans are also eagerly waiting for a big hit as their heroes disappointed big time with recent releases. So, Akhil needs to deliver the goods this time to make a mark for himself. This Friday is going to be very crucial for the Akkineni youngster.
