Akhil Akkineni's most action film 'Agent' is going to hit the screens on April 28. Its release date announcement came with a Pathaan-esque glimpse on Saturday.

Soon after the release date was made official, the Akkineni fans, general audience as well as film observers started seeing it as a good omen. It was on an April 28 that Prabhas' costume drama 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' was released. It was on an April 28 that Mahesh Babu's action entertainer 'Pokiri' was released.

A fan said that it was on April 28 in 1955 that ANR's historical romance film 'Anarkali' was released in theatres. And it was on April 28 in 1977 that NT Rama Rao's action film 'Adavi Ramudu' was released in theatres. It was on April 28 in 1997 that the fantasy comedy 'Yamaleela' was released.

'Agent', directed by Surendar Reddy, is a spy thriller. Akhil is betting big on it to become a massive hit, especially because it has skipped two major release dates already (Diwali last year and Sankranthi this year) in its quest for perfection.
