Movie enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the digital release of ‘Agent’, and the wait is finally over. Akhil Akkineni’s high-octane spy thriller is now streaming on Sony LIV in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, with English subtitles. Initially scheduled for a later release, the film arrived a day earlier than expected, surprising fans. Directed by Surender Reddy, Agent originally hit theatres in April 2023 but took almost two years to land on OTT due to various delays.
Despite the buzz before its theatrical release, Agent failed to impress at the box office, receiving strong criticism that made Akhil Akkineni rethink his script choices. However, the OTT release gives the movie a fresh chance to reach a wider audience. With Mollywood superstar Mammootty playing a crucial role and Sakshi Vaidya making her Tollywood debut, the film has an interesting ensemble cast. Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela also makes a special appearance in a song.
The film’s antagonist is played by Dino Morea, marking his Telugu debut. Written by Vakkantham Vamsi and produced by Anil Sunkara under AK Entertainments, Agent was made on a grand scale, with music composed by Hiphop Tamizha. While the film didn’t perform well in theatres, its action-packed sequences and stylish visuals might find a better reception among digital audiences.
For those who enjoyed Agent or want to explore more of Akhil Akkineni’s work, several of his films are available on streaming platforms. His debut film Akhil (2015) can also be streamed online, along with his other projects. As he prepares for his next ventures, Akhil seems determined to move away from conventional commercial films, focusing on unique storytelling to revive his career.
