Hype is the most important thing for a movie before its release. No matter the movie’s budget, if there is real hype around the project, in most cases, the makers will be bailed out by the first weekend. Right now, two medium movies are creating great hype in the film circles. One is Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger, and the other is Akkineni Akhil’s Agent. Puri Jagannath is directing the Liger on a pan-Indian scale. While Ananya Pandey will be seen romancing the Rowdy star, boxing legend Myke Tyson is playing a vital role. Puri has invested much time in this movie and is very confident the flick will be a blockbuster hit all over India. Meanwhile, Vijay has also agreed to make another film with Puri named Jana Gana Mana. Parallelly, he is acting in the Siva Nirvana’s Kushi, which also has Samatha Ruth Prabhu.
On the other hand, Akkineni Akhil has all his hopes pinned on his Agent. Movie sources say that Akhil’s role will be of an Indian secret agent. Already the still of Akhil walking in the rain has gone viral and attracted many eyeballs. The Surender Reddy directorial will see Sakshi Vaidya debuting in the film as Heroine. Mallu megastar Mammootty will play a vital role in this action entertainer, says the movie team. The Akkineni scion is hopeful that this film will give him his most eluding mass blockbuster and establish him as a top-tier star. Trade sources say that Liger and Agent are expected to set new benchmarks in the pre-release business and collections for non-top-tier heroes.
