South Superstar Akhil Akkineni Reveals, He Wishes To Play Virat Kohli On Screen

South superstar Naga Chaitanya’s brother, Akhil Akkineni is a big sports freak and also a Virat Kohli fan as we can see him posting a lot of stuff about it on his social media. He has now finally expressed his long time desire to play cricketer Virat Kohli on the big screen. 

Akhil Akkineni is on a promotional tour for his upcoming Indian-Telugu film, Most Eligible Bachelor opposite Pooja Hegde. In a recent interview, Akhil was asked about biopics and the sports personality he wishes to play. “So, here and there a few biopics come in, but I strongly feel that it’s easy to say that let’s just make a sports-oriented film, we can just pick up cricket, horse riding, etc and can do it. But unless the story is that good, the sport will not be highlighted, and I have still not found that as yet,” said Akhil.
