Will Akhil Fall For His Flattery?

Everyone knows that none can defeat maverick director Ram Gopal Varma when it comes to using flattery to floor even the best in the business. 

Movie lovers and all Akkineni fans got a huge shock when King Nagarjuna gave green signal to star in his direction though he was reeling under string of flops for more than a decade. He is wrapping up the action thriller Officer and even before one could blink, he announced his next with Akhil. 

This came as a stunning blow for Akkineni fans as Akhil is yet to make his mark in the industry. His debut film Akhil-The Power of Jua failed,while his second Hello, despite getting him critical acclaim for his performance, failed to set cash counters ringing. 

Now RGV started showering praises on Akhil saying he is far better than Nagarjuna at that age. 

He came with the following flurry of posts. 

'Hey @iamnagarjuna I want to be honest,even if u will beat me with a cycle chain. I really think @AkhilAkkineni8 has a better voice, better style,better demeanour and many other few things better than what u had when u were doing #Shiva"

"Hey @iamnagarjuna ,inspite of all the positives I am hoping to take care of @AkhilAkkineni8 ‘s few deficiencies as a director and much more than that I am really hoping that u will take care of my directorial deficiencies as a producer the way u so took care of them in #Shiva"

"The @AkhilAkkineni8 film am making is a very highly intense and extremely realistic action film and not at all a young cute love story..it’s a very hard love story at its core but emotionally packaged with a very high degree of sensitive violence mixed with tremendous love"

The question is will Akhil stay grounded or fall for his flattery.
