The young sensation Akhil Akkineni failed to impress audience and score a hit with his previous film Agent, directed by Surender Reddy. The film became a biggest disaster at the box office. The actor is currently on a break and didn't sign any new project.

The actor has been in talks with a debutant Anil Kumar for a high-budget periodic drama titled Dheera and UV Creations are backing this film. The pre-production work of the film has been happening from some time. 

It is known that Akkineni fans have been criticising Nagarjuna for not producing Akhil’s film and for not setting up the right film for Akhil. As per the ongoing buzz, Nagarjuna is in plans to produce a project on Annapurna Studios and the film has Akhil Akkineni playing the lead role. 

Murali Kishor Abburu of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha will direct this film. Nagarjuna was impressed with the narration of Murali Kishor and he gave his nod. The filming starts this year and an official announcement will be made very soon. Fans and audience wants to see his massive comeback.
