Akkineni family is on cloud nine right now with back to back hits at the box office in their home banner, especially with Hello being a perfect relaunch for Akhil. Today Akhil, heroine Kalyani, and music director Anup interacted with the media sharing their happiness over the success of Hello.

Akhil first thanked the audiences for making the film hit and he continued answering the media question along with revealing key things about Hello movie. Akhil said, “I got disappointed with my first film failure, did not came out of my room for many days and watched Akhil movie 30 times to know what exactly went wrong. After my second film with Vikram got confirmed and shooting started than I got back to normal mood.

We have taken a calculated risk for the action sequences that got huge appreciation. For 31 days action, we have rehearsed 62 days with Hollywood stunt master team. The best compliment I received was from a mystery girl who said I stole her heart with my acting in the climax episode of Hello. Music director Anup trained me for 3 months and it helped me to sing the song which is received positively. I am happy to have a producer like my father who involved in every aspect of Hello and it’s not the records or collections giving a good film to audiences was our agenda and we got successful in achieving it. I will announce my third film details on 10th Jan after hearing the final narration, shooting will start from February and will be released in second half of 2018.

Akhil continued saying that, “I couldn’t sleep before release date until I heard positive reports from US premieres. Three things worked for the Hello according to me firstly perfect casting then performances from all the actor and finally Anup Rubens background score which made everyone get emotionally connected with the movie. I haven’t taken any remuneration and my father making the film itself is enough for me. Audiences have liked the new age action sequences I have done in Hello and even in my upcoming movies, I will make sure to add something new. I am not correct for television which requires continuous energy which I lack. Samantha is planning the new year trip and we will go by her plan. I like new age realistic films which have a strong story line in them and I will take care these things are present in my future projects.”

Akhil Akkineni took his time and tested his luck with Hello which released during the Christmas season. Despite of positive word of mouth, the collections of the film have not been remarkable. However Akhil’s performance along with his screen presence received decent response which made the actor happy. The actor shifted his focus towards his next and is currently on a break. During his recent media interaction, Akhil revealed that he is currently enjoying the success of Hello.

Akhil revealed that he would announce the details about his third project on January 10th. There have been several speculations about his next film and Akhil is all set to keep an end to these rumours with his big announcement. There are talks that Tamil director Atlee will direct his next film and will be made simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages. More details soon.

Akkineni Akhil’s relaunch film, Hello, released amid good pre-release buzz and expectations. And thankfully, the film garnered good reports from the first day and the word of mouth has been pretty encouraging. Unfortunately, that didn’t convert into box office numbers as the first weekend collections are very ordinary, if not dismal.

With the current talk, one would feel that the film may gallop to the break-even mark in its full run. But, the latest trade trends suggest that the film is likely to end as a loss venture. The film’s pre-release business of Hello is nearly 30 Crores.

The share at the end of four days is close to 12 Crores, which is a very disappointing figure given the positive talk the film garnered. This week two more films are releasing and Nani’s MCA is giving stiff competition to Hello. So, trade analysts opine that Hello might end as a flop at the box office.

Some popular analysts opine that Hello could have fared well had it been a Summer release given the fact that audience embrace multiple films at that time of the year. Also, the long run will be an added advantage for Summer releases. For Hello, there is a little breathing space at the box office due to the release of other films and also the release of Sankranthi films might further dent its box office performance.

Producer Nagarjuna might have committed a colossal mistake by releasing the film at the fag end of year. Had it been a Summer release, the box office story could have been a different and heartwarming one for both Akhil and his fans.
