After watching the screening of the film on Tuesday, Akhil started praising Pawan for his rocking performance and also said that Gabbar Singh was one of the most entertaining movies he have seen off late. "Hats off to powerstar PK for carrying off the movie like that!!," opined the star kid.
Calling Gabbar Singh as highly entertaining flick, Akhil appreciated the makers for the adaptation than a frame-to-frame remake of Bollywood hit Dabangg. Director Harish Shankar made numerous changes to the script to suit the taste of Telugu audience. One of the main reasons for the tremendous success of Gabbar Singh is that the film looked more like an 'original' (not a remake)!
