TV anchor Pradeep Machiraju's feature film journey has been unsuccessful. '30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela', which hit the cinemas in 2021, didn't give his career any filip. He remained focused on his TV career.
Finally, Pradeep is back with his second film. Titled 'Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi', this one has him in the role of a civil engineer whose tryst with a village girl has unexpected consequences.
This is Pradeep's last bet. If this film doesn't work, he can as well forget about a thriving film career. He will pay the price for not doing secondary roles or character roles in big-star movies and sticking to his goal of doing only lead roles. He has always believed in his calibre to pull off lead roles.
Romantic roles in today's cinema face unique challenges. We hope 'Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi' includes a thrilling aspect to ensure audience satisfaction beyond the love story. If this film flops, Pradeep will be Akkada Hero, Ikkada Zero (where 'Akkada' stands for TV and 'Ikkada' stands for cinema).
