Lenin is Akhil Akkineni’s new film, which has been in the making for quite some time. Following the debacle of Agent, Akhil has pinned all his hopes on Lenin, which is being backed by his father, Akkineni Nagarjuna. When the film was announced, the makers revealed that Sreeleela would play the female lead.
Why did Sreeleela walk out of Akhil Akkineni's Lenin?
The PelliSandaD actress even shot for a few schedules but later walked out of the project due to date issues caused by delays in the shoot.
Now that the new year has begun, the makers have unveiled the first look of the film, releasing a poster that introduces the happening heroine Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead.
Bhagyashri is one of the most in-demand actresses currently, and despite a few box-office setbacks, she continues to bag big projects, with Lenin being one of them. In the first-look poster, the gorgeous actress is seen in a traditional avatar. She radiates positive energy and sends out an encouraging signal to fans.
Who is the director of Akhil Akkineni's Lenin?
Lenin is being directed by Murali Kishore Abburu of Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha fame, and the film is a village drama set in the Rayalaseema region.
Akhil will be seen in a mass avatar in this film, marking his first proper mass action drama. Nagarjuna is personally overseeing the project and has delayed the shoot to ensure the film turns out well.
Along with the new poster, the makers also announced that the first single from the film will be released on January 5, 2025. We have learned that Lenin is based on the sensitive issue of honor killing, which remains prevalent even today.
Who is playing the main villain in Lenin?
Akhil has worked hard on his look, and reports suggest he will deliver dialogues in the distinctive Rayalaseema slang. The film is also being backed by the makers of DJ Tillu and Luck Baskhar. Sivaji plays the main villain in Lenin.
The shooting of Lenin is nearing completion, and the makers are expected to announce the official release date soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
