“Agent,” starring Akhil Akkineni and newcomer Sakshi Vaidya, was released last weekend and was a box office disaster. Even those who hoped the film would be a big success because producer Anil Sunkara put a lot of money into it were surprised to see a film with no coherent story.
Anil Sunkara now bears responsibility for the failure. He even admitted that they began filming without a bound script. Surender Reddy, the film’s director, reportedly began filming with Vakkantham Vamsi’s story idea. However, when they began filming, the script was not completely written down.
“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,” Anil Sunkara wrote on social media. “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.”
He apologized to Akhil fans for disappointing them.
“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,” he wrote.
Anil Sunkara is currently producing a number of projects, including Chiranjeevi’s ‘Bholaa Shankar’.
