The movie "Agent" is about to be released in a few hours. Both the lead actor, Akhil, and director, Surender Reddy, are awaiting its success.
For Akhil, this is an opportunity to prove his worth as a hero. Even if he doesn't get the right break, he believes that there will always be other opportunities to prove himself.
However, the situation is a bit more difficult for Surender Reddy. If the film fails, it will reflect poorly on him as a director.
He has already faced negativity in the past with his movie "Sye Raa," which was considered a flop due to its extravagant budget.
Similarly, the budget of "Agent" has also become a topic of discussion, as it was estimated to cost 40 crores, but the actual cost was 80 crores.
Despite the gossip surrounding the film's promotions, industry insiders know what happened between the producer and the director.
The release date was also set under pressure from the producer and heroes, according to inside sources.
It is customary for films to be ready much in advance if they are to be released on a particular day, but the work has been still going on even a couple of days before the release.
With this, the overseas premieres are getting delayed. It is known that Producer Anil Sunkara has a burden of at least five crores by the time of its release.
In light of this, the film "Agent" has to become a massive hit if Surender Reddy has to get meaty opportunities.
If the film is a hit, all the negative points will be forgotten, and the focus will shift towards Surender Reddy's talent.
However, if it fails, there is a risk that he will fall into obscurity like many great directors.
