Akhil
Akkineni
starrer
Agent,
a
spy
action
drama
written
by
Vakkantham
Vamsi
and
directed
by
Surender
Reddy,
gathered
a
flop
talk
upon
its
theatrical
release
on
April
28.
The
movie's
openings
were
decent
but
immediately
fell
flat
at
the
BO.
Agent
also
stars
veteran
Malayalam
superstar
Mammootty
in
a
prominent
role;
Bollywood
actor
Dino
Morea
is
the
antagonist.
The
roles
of
Akhil
and
Mammootty
were
nicely
portrayed
with
a
weak
story
and
vague
villain
characterization.
The
movie
was
unanimously
billed
as
a
flop
movie.
Agent
Vs
Virupaksha
&
PS
2
Owing
to
the
underwhelming
response
at
the
box
office,
Agent
couldn't
make
much
on
its
second
day.
In
addition
to
Virupaksha,
which
is
continuing
to
enthrall
the
viewers,
Mani
Ratnam's
epic
Ponniyin
Selvan
2
also
hit
the
screens
on
the
same
day
as
Agent.
The
movie
lost
the
battle.
Agent's
Disappointing
Collection
In
Nizam
According
to
a
report
in
123
Telugu,
Agent
collected
a
Share
value
of
only
Rs
45
Lakh
in
Andhra,
Nizam,
and
Ceeded
regions
put
together,
on
the
opening
weekend.
Agent
Producer
Anil
Sunkara's
Bold
Tweet
On
May
1,
the
film's
producer
Anil
Sunkara
has
come
up
with
a
bold
tweet,
taking
responsibility
for
the
film's
failure.
On
his
Twitter
handle,
the
filmmaker
wrote,
"We
have
to
take
the
entire
blame
for
#Agent.
Though
we
know
its
an
uphill
task,
we
thought
of
conquering
but
failed
to
do
so
as
we
did
a
blunder
starting
the
project
without
a
bound
script
&
innumerable
issues
including
covid
followed.
We
don't
want
to
give
any
excuses
but
learn
from
this
costly
mistake
and
see
how
we
can
turnaround
to
make
sure,
we
will
never
repeat
the
mistakes.
Our
sincere
apologies
to
all
those
who
put
trust
on
us.
We
will
make
it
up
for
the
losses
with
dedicated
planning
&
hardwork
in
our
future
projects."
(sic)
His
post
brings
to
the
fore
the
issue
of
how
Tollywood
is
keen
on
setting
combinations
and
expanding
the
market,
rather
than
working
on
good
scripts
that
work.
