It is a dream for any hero to be tagged as a mass icon as it is the toughest bracket. Getting the patronage of a mass audience takes a lot of aura, charisma, right projects and stamina at the box office. Over many years, a lot of heroes tried to attain this tag and have failed miserably. While some have realized and changed their track, some haven't.
Now, Akkineni Akhil seems to be aiming for the coveted mass icon tag. It is heard that his upcoming release 'Agent' has been designed to project him as a mass hero. However, those who heard this are saying he is making a big mistake. As such, Akhil has chocolate boy looks and he is more suitable for romantic and class roles than mass characters.
For a long time, the Akkineni clan have scored better banking on family and romantic entertainers and their attempts with mass subjects have failed miserably. Despite this track record, Akhil's desire to achieve it is being deemed as a big mistake. Well, the result will be out on April 28th when 'Agent' hits the screens. Till such time, all we can do is wish Akhil achieves his coveted dream.
