Akhil Akkineni Details Hand Injury and Recovery Following Agent's ReleasePreviousNext

Actor Akhil Akkineni revealed that a freak accident three to four months after his film Agent's release caused a severe hand injury requiring two surgeries and a 16-month recovery. The injury, which affected nerves and tendons in his left hand, delayed his return to films and mentally shook him for several months. Akhil acknowledged the long break was partly his responsibility and partly due to the injury. He apologized for Agent's poor performance and expressed determination to come back stronger with his upcoming film Lenin.
