Akhil Akkineni injured on the sets of Most Eligible Bachelor

Actor Akhil Akkineni suffered a minor injury while shooting for his upcoming Telugu film Most Eligible Bachelor (MEB), as per a report by Cinema Express. Akhil suffered an injury to his right elbow while filming a comic action sequence.

“Akhil’s right-hand elbow was swollen and he was advised a week’s rest by the doctors. As a result, the shooting of the film has been halted. The actor is currently recuperating at home and he is expected to resume work after March 10,” a source was quoted in the report. 

Being directed by Bhaskar, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, who is teaming up with Akhil for the first time. The film will see Akhil play an NRI while Pooja will be seen as a stand-up comedienne. Produced by Bunny Vas and Vasu Varma, MEB has music by Gopi Sundar. The makers are planning to release the film in May.
