The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Agent is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language action thriller film directed by Surender Reddy, from a story by Vakkantham Vamsi, and produced by Anil Sunkara and Rambrahmam Sunkara under AK Entertainments. The film stars Mammootty and Akhil Akkineni in the lead roles alongside Dino Morea, Sakshi Vaidya, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Vikramjeet Virk in supporting roles. The film marks the debut of Vaidya and Morea in Telugu cinema. The film was announced in September 2020. Filming took place in Hyderabad, Budapest, Visakhapatnam, Coimbatore and Manali. The release was deferred multiple times due to COVID-19 pandemic and production delays. Agent was released on 28 April 2023 and received negative reviews from critics. The film became a big commercial disappointment at the box office amongst decent expectations, which prompted Sunkara and Akhil to apologize, accepting that the production commenced filming without a bound script.
