More than screen presence or displaying the real basics in acting, these-days young heroes are concentrating to excel in performing circus feats like flexible dances and fearless stunts. Of course, dances and fights will help any newcomer to get near to mass crowds and enjoy the adoration lower order centers but overall eminence as a star hero mandatorily requires thorough knowledge to remain in distinction.
For example, Akkineni Akhil received appreciations with his debut film ‘Akhil’ not for his emotional performance or timely rendering of dialogues but for mercurial body movement in dances and fights. After putting up a high spirited show in first song ‘Nenkkadunte…,’ every dance step in following songs just appeared to be a repetition of first. Despite a fact that Akhil had a rigorous training in dances, he also exhibited the same on screen.
Like what happened earlier for Ramcharan in ‘Bruce Lee’ which had majestically sharp cut dance moves with zero strength in story and script, same appears to be the situation with ‘Akhil’ because Akhil sweated it out in middle with no support from story, script and direction.
