Akkineni’s young actor Akhil Akkineni owes a massive hit for Tollywood and he tested his luck after two complete years with the film Hello. Directed by Vikram Kumar, the film is said to be a romantic and action entertainer which has been made on a massive budget of Rs 35 crores. Kalyani Priyadarshan made her debut as an actress with the film and Anup Rubens composed the music. The audio of the film has been a smashing hit and Hello released all over on December 22nd.
The film despite of getting positive response failed to mint massive figures in its first weekend. Hello collected Rs 15.7 crores in its first week across the world. The movie managed to collect Rs 11.58 crores in AP and Telangana which is quite low.
