It is quite common for heroes to have bad phases in their careers. Currently, the Akkineni heroes are going through such a period. King Nagarjuna arrived with ‘Ghost’ during the Dasara season of 2022. This action flick which was directed by Praveen Sattaru turned out to be a disaster. It did not get good collections and the talk wasn’t encouraging too. Prior to that, Nagarjuna’s ‘Manmadhudu 2’ and ‘Wild Dog’ were also big failures.
Last year, Naga Chaitanya arrived with a slice-of-life drama named ‘Thank You’. Dil Raju produced it while Vikram Kumar directed this movie. It ended up being a big failure. Dil Raju lost a lot of money and Vikram Kumar is yet to start his new project. Young hero Akhil Akkineni too faced a huge disaster in the form of ‘Agent’.
Directed by Surender Reddy, this high-budget spy thriller was released on 28th April and the talk was very bad that it learned less than 10 crores while the movie was made on a budget of 80 crores. Akhil already had flops like ‘Akhil’, ‘Hello’, and ‘Mr. Majnu’ before. But people hoped for Naga Chaitanya to bounce back with ‘Custody’ as the story was quite interesting and the promos generated a lot of positive buzz.
But the movie which came out on Friday turned out to be a huge disappointment. Many are predicting that it will be a big failure in both Naga Chaitanya and Venkat Prabhu’s careers. Chaitanya’s plans to get launched in Bollywood with ‘Laal Singh Chadda’ failed as well. With the wrong script selection and execution, the movies ended up as huge debacles. The Akkineni heroes have to be very careful with their next projects. Otherwise, their market will go down even further. Hope that it never happens.

Akshaye Khanna Joins Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe Buzz
veteran actor Akshaye Khanna is reportedly gearing up for a powerful second innings in Telugu cinema, with director Prasanth Varma’s cinematic universe playing a key role in his comeback.
As already known, Akshaye Khanna will be seen in the upcoming film Mahakali, part of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), where he is set to portray the character of “Shukracharya.” The role is said to be extremely powerful and central to the universe’s mythological narrative. His entry into Telugu cinema with such a unique and intense character has already generated strong buzz.
Now, fresh reports suggest that the actor might also be a part of another PVCU project titled Adhira, directed by Sharan Koppishetty and starring Kalyan Dasari in the lead role. The film is currently in production, and speculation is growing that Akshaye Khanna could play a crucial role in this film as well.
If confirmed, this would mark his involvement in multiple films within the same cinematic universe. However, it remains unclear whether he will reprise his Mahakali character in Adhira or appear in an entirely new role.
Prasanth Varma is rapidly expanding his cinematic universe with ambitious projects like Jai Hanuman, featuring Rishab Shetty in the lead and backed by Mythri Movie Makers. With such diverse and high-profile casting choices, expectations around PVCU are steadily rising, aiming for a pan-India appeal.
Akshaye Khanna, once known as a Bollywood romantic hero, is now stepping into a new phase of his career with intense and powerful roles in Telugu cinema. His portrayal of a dark, mythological character in Mahakali is expected to be a major highlight.
If his involvement in Adhira is confirmed, it could establish him as a strong presence in South Indian cinema, potentially as a key villain or character actor in this expanding universe. All eyes are now on official announcements regarding his role in these projects.
