Never in the past, there was so much euphoria around a debutant hero. Even during the times when Ramcharan was launched with ‘Chirutha’ to take Mega reigns, the hype was present but it did not damage overall result of film. Unlike buildup given for Akhil and Fans assuming it all to be true finally resulted in Mega disaster. The way Akkineni Fans bashed Nithin and Vinayak on social networking with filthy comments hearing on ‘Akhil’ postponement exposes the negative effect.
Keeping energy low or say within limits could have definitely nullified ‘Akhil’ damage to an extent. On one side, Akkineni admirers started to annoy Mega and Ghattamaneni Fans at one go by circulating many pre release rumors and on other side ‘Akhil’ producers continued with creation of bellicose atmosphere around the film.
‘Akhil has done extremely well as newcomer but film suffered badly due to content and lack of script, direction. There were many occasions in past when films of these standards recovered and stood fine at Box Office. Apparently, ‘Akhil’ saw a rapid fall only for rubbing on wrong way of opposition heroes Fans. What's the use,’ one more questioning comment heard in film circles.
