Hyderabad, May 23 (IANS): The post-theatrical digital streaming rights to Akhil Akkineni's highly anticipated upcoming film 'Agent' have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video. It is expected that an official announcement will be made soon.

'Agent,' one of Akhil's most anticipated films, will feature him in an unusual role as an Interpol officer. Surender Reddy's directorial debut will also feature Akhil in a fully transformed, rugged look.

Vakkantham Vamsi wrote the screenplay for 'Agent,' which is produced by AK Entertainments and Surender 2 Cinema. Mammootty, the Malayalam superstar, will play a pivotal role in 'Agent.'

'KGF 2' starring Yash and Srinidhi Shetty and 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' starring Mahesh Babu and Keerthy Suresh were also recently acquired by Amazon Prime. Both films were commercial blockbusters, and the fact that 'Agent' has a deal with an OTT partner has only added to the excitement surrounding the action-thriller's release.
