After his film Agent, Akkineni Akhil is gearing up for his next movie, Lenin. The film is directed by Murali Kishore Abburi and is jointly produced by Sitara Entertainments and Annapurna Studios. Although the shooting start date was not officially announced, makers surprised fans with a teaser. In the teaser, Sri Leela was seen opposite Akhil as the female lead.
However, recent reports suggest that Sri Leela has exited the project and Bagya Shri Borse has replaced her. There were also rumours about a few scenes needing reshoots, though no official confirmation has come from the team. Despite this, the latest talk is that Lenin has completed nearly 80% of its shooting. Reports suggest the remaining 20% will be finished in the next 20 days, with plans to release the film in November, possibly on the 14th.
Akhil took almost two years after Agent to begin a new project. Agent, a spy-action film directed by Surender Reddy, did not perform well at the box office, leaving Akhil disappointed. During this time, Murali Kishore approached him with the story of Lenin, which encouraged Akhil to return to work.
Lenin is expected to be a love-action entertainer. Fans are eager for updates, as Akhil has been keeping a low profile, especially after his marriage. Questions remain about whether the film will release on the planned date and if it will meet audience expectations.
Despite setbacks in his career after Agent, Akhil is determined to make Lenin a commercial hit. He began his career with success and charm as the “Most Eligible Bachelor,” and now aims to regain that momentum with this film. Fans are hoping that Lenin will bring back the mass appeal Akhil is known for.
Whether the film will deliver the expected success remains to be seen, but Akhil’s commitment suggests he is ready to make a strong comeback with Lenin.
