With his remarkable physical makeover for his spy thriller Agent, Akhil Akkineni is gaining hearts. The actor revealed a new glimpse of it on Instagram, where he posted a mirror selfie showing off his biceps. “Sunday isn’t rest day, it’s flex day,” the caption read.

The actor recently returned from Vizag, where he finished a 10-day run of Agent. Junaid Shaikh, the actor’s personal trainer, was cited as adding that fans will be surprised to see him in his upcoming film.

He added, “Akhil is a person who will die on say, he is that dedicated. He will cry but do it. Someday when his mood is down, he will go and play cricket. Sports really changes his mindset”.

Talking about his workout schedule for the spy thriller, he added, “He has been doing a lot of bodybuilding workouts, conditioning workouts. We are making it sure that he does not have stiff or very bulky but will be seen in a flamboyance kind of physique in Agent. Mobility, core sessions are an addition to other workouts,”

Meanwhile, Agent has been causing quite a stir among moviegoers. The fact that actor Mammootty will play a pivotal role in the Telugu action film is one of the project’s main draws. In an army outfit, he is shown carrying a gun in the snow on his first look poster.

Sakshi Vaidya will play the leading lady in this Surender Reddy film. This project, which is being co-financed by Ramabrahmam Sunkara under the umbrella of AK Entertainments and Surender 2 Cinema, is expected to hit theatres on August 12th.

The soundtrack for Agent was composed by Hiphop Tamizha, and the cinematographer is Rasool Ellore. The film’s editing was done by Naveen Nooli, and the writing was written by Vakkantham Vamsi.
