Actor Akhil Akkineni is a sports lover and in a recent interview he opened up about working in biopics and which sportsperson he wishes to play on screen. The actor believes that it is not easy to make a sports-oriented film as if the story is not that good, the sport will not be highlighted. When asked about which athlete he would like to portray on the big screen or if there was anyone who has inspired him, Akhil instantly said Virat Kohli. He believes that Kohli?s journey would be a combination of passion, fire, and dedication.
The actor told Pinkvilla that the Indian skipper has influenced him in a lot of ways, including the way he carries himself, and dedicates himself to his craft and sport. ?It?s incredible to see someone so dedicated, and the passion to be number one. So maybe a story on him someday would be great,? he said.
