Buzz is that many heroines and the cine folks are impressed with Akhil. The reason for that is his down to earth nature and his ability to mix freely with all levels of individuals right from ground staff to the top most heroine. Even during the short interviews, many starlets were seen praising Akhil and calling him their favourite during the tournament.
Though Akhil was reportedly disappointed that the Telugu Warriors could not make it to the finals, he is hoping that they would make it to lift the trophy next season. And with Akhil's statement about making debut in films, he is likely to take his father's place as the most happening ladies man.
