Agent OTT release update: Producer Anil Sunkara blames Sony LIV for the delay of Akhil Akkineni's film

Akhil Akkineni gave over two years of his time for Agent. He made a solid transformation but all this did not go in favor of the film as Agent ended as a massive disaster at the box office. Surender Reddy directed this film which had Mammootty in a key role.

The reason for the delay is not yet known but fans and the general audience who wanted to watch the film on OTT are sorely disappointed.

Speaking in an interview, he revealed that the news regarding the re-edit is false and the content is ready for the OTT screening but the team at Sony Liv has delayed the release for reasons only known to them. "From my side everything is clear. Only the team of Sony Liv can answer why the film has been delayed" said Anil Sunkara.
