Akhil overseas distribution rights were bought for four crore by the buyers that expected the film to be a huge blockbuster.
Akhil turned out to be a nightmare to them on many levels. The film was released in more than 120 screens across US but it only managed to collect around 170K dollars.
Distributors have spent so much on the publicity and theater rents that they had to pay additional amount to that of gross collected from the theaters.
The expenditure on the movie publicity and theater rents cost extra 10 lakhs more than the share collected at the box office. This means Akhil distributor’s share in overseas is minus 10 lakh rupees!
This will go down as epic disaster for not even collecting single NP share from the box office in spite of the buyers bet of 4 crore on it! Akhil has turned out to be disastrous for every buyer that invested in it.
Overseas buyers were left shell shocked with its performance and it is believed that Nagarjuna gave assurance to them by offering his next movies for fairly less amount than the market price.
