Most Eligible Bachelor: Nagarjuna turns down son Akhil Akkineni’s film’s OTT release offer?

Nagarjuna’s son Akhil Akkineni will be seen in Most Eligible Bachelor which is his fourth film. The movie also has Pooja Hegde and the movie has been creating a lot of buzz since two years. Most Eligible Bachelor is directed by Bhasker, presented by Allu Aravind, and produced by Bunny Vas and Vasu Varma under the banner GA2 Pictures. The movie is set to release on June 19, 2021. But given the current pandemic situation, the chances are rare that the movie would release in theatres. Well, as per reports, Nagarjuna has decided to wait for things to get normal for the movie to release on the big screen. Akhil’s all three films Akhil, Hello and Mr. Majnu didn’t do well at the box office.

As per media reports, Nagarjuna doesn’t want his son’s film to have an OTT release. So, he has turned down the offer of its OTT release as he wants his son’s film to hit the theatres first and not on OTT platforms. Allu Aravind and Bunny Vaas have considered Nagarjuna’s decision and they are also in favour of the film’s theatrical release. There is no official confirmation yet.
