Akhil Akkineni's 'Agent' Scores High Pre-Release Worldwide Theatrical Business
Hyderabad, April 26 - Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni's long-awaited spy action thriller Agent is getting ready to hit the big screen this Friday, April 28. The Pan India movie is directed by Surender Reddy who last directed a movie was Chiranjeevi's "Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy" in 2019. ## A few months back, "Agent" was one of the most-anticipated Telugu movies of the tier 2 heroes, but, the continued delay in the production hit the hype. However, the trailer and the unique promotional activities have brought the movie into the scene again and it is currently carrying a decent buzz among the moviegoers. ## Meanwhile, the makers have locked the worldwide theatrical business, and irrespective of the buzz around the movie, it has managed to close a high business for a non-superstar movie. According to T2BLive.com, the pre-release theatrical business of "Agent" is approx. 36.20 crores, which is the second highest ever for Akhil's movie. ## The makers have sold Telugu theatrical rights for around 29 crores while the rest of India's theatrical business is around 4 crores. The overseas rights are locked for around 3 crores. The break-even target of the movie will be 37 crores worldwide, which means it will need to score around 60 crores gross worldwide to emerge as a clean hit. ## Produced by AK Entertainment, and Surender 2 Cinema, "Agent" will need a unanimous positive response from audiences to achieve the break-even target as it has been seen that the movies with mixed responses have failed badly at the box office. The promotional content released so far has attracted a positive response from everyone which has ensured a decent to good opening.## The movie features Akhil as a rogue agent known to be ruthless and unpredictable. It also stars Malayalam superstar Mammootty in a prominent role along with Sakshi Vaidya as the female lead and Dino Morea, among others. ## Stay tuned...
