The great similarity between present star hero Mahesh Babu and future star hero Akkineni Akhil is both of them are extremely handsome at looks with their milk white complexion which can easily pinch the hearts of young babes. In fact, Mahesh started the career only with lover boy shaded characters like what we have seen in ‘Rajakumarudu, Yuvaraju, Vamsi.’ Then his career took a big turn with ‘Murari’ and Mahesh Babu went on changing the career track.
Film analysts opine that Nagarjuna is also sketching a similar career plan for Akhil because the current trend in Telugu films is best inclined towards youthful romantic concepts while debuting with a new concept like ‘Josh’ might prove fatal. So, entry of Akhil shall be on the same lines of Mahesh and the take off from there on should also follow Mahesh. Let us see, how far Akhil will develop as a complete artist to achieve the stardom reached by Mahesh.
