The
young
Akkineni
scion,
Akhil
Akkineni's
debut
movie,
Akhil
co-starring
Sayesha
Saigal
under
the
direction
of
V
V
Vinayak
opened
to
mixed
reviews
yesterday.
It
is
known
that
the
film
carried
great
expectations
among
fans
as
well
as
moviegoers
since
it
is
the
first
ever
film
of
Nagarjuna's
son.
Industry
insiders
were
also
eager
to
know
how
Akhil
would
mesmerize
the
audience
and
take
forward
the
Akkineni
legacy.
Despite
the
bad
reviews
for
the
film,
Akhil
received
heaps
of
praise
from
the
critics
and
movie
lovers.
Akhil
managed
to
prove
his
mettle
just
with
his
first
film
and
his
dances
were
widely
appreciated.
The
film,
which
released
on
November
11
on
the
occasion
of
Diwali,
garnered
huge
figures
on
the
opening
day
and
has
become
the
highest
grosser
among
Akkineni
films
till
date.
Also,
Akhil
managed
to
break
the
record
of
Ram
Charan's
Chirutha,
which
holds
the
record
for
collecting
highest
amount
of
collections
for
a
debut
hero.
Increased
ticket
rates
have
also
come
in
favor
of
Akhil.
Akhil
collected
a
total
share
of
7.57
Cr
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
alone
while
the
expected
total
share
of
worldwide
collections
is
yet
to
be
known.
