Like grand-father Akkineni Nageswara Rao, father Nagarjuna and elder brother Naga Chaitanya, young boy Akhil isn’t looking for a soft lover boy kind of image in Tollywood. His first look in ‘Manam’ is superbly appreciated and analysts are already seeing a budding Super Star in him. May be this could be the reason why Nagarjuna could not come to an easy conclusion on what kind of a script and director to choose. While many say that Akhil should prefer of gaining a rugged image with mass shades, Akkineni admirers opine of Akhil should aim for all round development as an artist and not to stick for a particular genre.
Need of the hour is, any artist in order to get a rare recognition in any industry should show the versatility. So, Akhil might do a mass character or a classic romantic character, he should first know the technique of getting into the skin of characterization which gives him a long innings to play.
