Actor Akhil Akkineni on Monday took to Twitter to share a glimpse of his transformed physique for his upcoming Telugu film Agent. Hailing his transformation, fans said his hard work won’t fail.

Akhil revealed that it took him exactly one year to complete his transformation.

“365 days back, I was challenged by @DirSurender to transform myself mentally and physically. Sir, the fire you have ignited in me will burn furiously throughout this film. I promise you that (sic).”

His fans were full of praise for the actor. One fan complimented him and wrote: “Well !! That’s really a huge transformation. Good luck to your movie.” Another said: “Nee hardwork ki nee dedication ki box office baddalu ippovali esari (So much hardwork, so much dedication will not go waste at the box office).”

Agent, which marks the maiden collaboration of Akhil Akkineni and director Surender Reddy, went on the floors on Monday.

Akhil, meanwhile, awaits the release of his upcoming Telugu romantic comedy, Most Eligible Bachelor, which has been directed by Bhaskar. The film will see Akhil play an NRI while Pooja Hegde will be seen as a stand-up comedian.

Produced by Bunny Vas and Vasu Varma, Most Eligible Bachelor has music by Gopi Sundar. Last March, Akhil suffered an injury while shooting for this project. He was out of action for a week. Akhil suffered an injury to his right elbow while filming a comedy action sequence.
