Produced by Anil Sunkara with a budget of Rs. 70 crores, the film faced ongoing legal issues regarding its Vizag rights.

Although "Agent" flopped theatrically, Sony Liv acquired its OTT rights at a considerable price. Typically, OTT platforms stream movies soon after theatrical flops, but even after a year, "Agent" has yet to debut on Sony Liv as initially planned. Recently, Sony Liv announced a digital premiere date of September 29, sparking anticipation among fans. However, the platform unexpectedly removed promotional posters, casting doubt on whether the release will proceed as scheduled.

Meanwhile, Akhil is also involved in another big-budget film titled "Dheera," prompting surprise given his previous lack of significant box office success.
