Lenin: Movie Overview
In the trailer of Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming Telugu film Lenin, the actor prepares for war. A war that is fought over love. The three-minute-long video depicts the love between Lenin (Akkineni) and Bharathi (Bhagyashri Borse), which later becomes a reason for a battle in their village.
The film, written and directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, co-stars Sivaji, Brahmaji, Easwari Rao, and Sunil, among others. “No war is more violent than love,” the trailer observes, as the protagonist goes through a major development towards the end, drawing parallels between Kurukshetra, the ancient battlefield of the Mahabharata, and his situation. The movie has music by Thaman, editing by Navin Nooli and camerawork by Leon Britto.
The film marks Akkineni’s comeback to the big screen after 2023 film Agent. The upcoming film, which saw delays in its release dates, will not be out in theatres on July 10.
The film, which was earlier scheduled to be released on June 26, was recently pushed to July, as announced by producer, Telugu star and Akhil’s father, Nagarjuna.”Team #Lenin came to me with a request. They asked for a little more time to give their absolute 100% and create something very special. Their passion and spirit made me say yes. మనోడు 10th July వస్తున్నాడు. I say again you will see a new Akhil!! Get ready for the #Lenin experience,” Nagarjuna wrote on X.
Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni is marking his long-awaited return to the big screens with the upcoming village romance drama, ‘Lenin’ opposite Bhagyashri Borse. If the latest reports are to be believed the film seems to be pushed ahead again.
According to a report by Gulte, ‘Lenin’ is likely to be postponed from June 26, 2026. The makers are considering a new release date because some important work on the film is still pending. While there is no official announcement yet, reports suggest that the movie could arrive in theatres on July 10, 2026.
It is also suggested that visual effects work and final editing are still in progress. The team is reportedly taking extra time to complete the film properly before releasing it to audiences. The makers do not want to rush the process and are focusing on delivering a better final product. Because of this, a delay is being discussed.
This is not the first time ‘Lenin’ has faced a postponement. The film was originally scheduled to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.
Later, the makers shifted the release to June 26 to avoid a box office clash with Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi’, which was then expected to release on the same date. Interestingly, ‘Peddi’ was later postponed as well, leading to further changes in the release calendar.
Earlier, the film featured Sreeleela as the female lead. She even appeared in the first glimpse released by the makers. However, due to scheduling issues, she stepped away from the project. Actress Bhagyashri Borse later joined the film as the heroine.
Directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, ‘Lenin’ is set in a village and appears to be a love story with family conflicts and power struggles.
Renowned musician Thaman is composing the tunes for the film.
