It's Not Like Making A Coke -Akhil Akkineni

Young hero Akhil Akkineni is all set to make his grand debut on silver screen with "Akhil" on October 22nd. On this eve, the youngster explains that cinema is not about making money but it's an art form that couldn't have any logical value.

"For many people, cinema is some kind of business, but for me it's an art. Like a painting on a canvas, cinema is a 2 hour long art we create on screen. People will have different opinions, but still an art form will have both appreciation and criticism", says Akhil. He feels that films require investment and they have to be recovered, but there's no guarantee that 'business' is the only criteria all the time. Akhil has an example to illustrate this. "If you make coke in a factory, all the bottles should have the same taste. But for films, every film should have different taste, it's not like Coke. So, there's no guarantee that this much investment and ingredients, will bring that much success", he avers. 

Probably Akhil is the youngest hero who has such grip on film business and could differentiate between art and it's business quite simply. Simply put, his grandfather is a legendary actor and businessman who established Annapurna Studio, while his dad is known for restaurants, racing teams and TV channel apart from running the family owned film-studio.
