'Lenin': Akhil Akkineni's Film Pushed To July

Upcoming Telugu film Lenin, starring Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse, will now be released in theatres on July 10. The film, which was earlier scheduled to be released on June 26, has now been pushed to July, as announced by producer and Telugu star 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.

Directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, Lenin co-stars Akhil and Bhagyashri Borse, and marks the actor's return to the big screen after Agent (2023). Borse was last seen in Andhra King Taluka and Kaantha, both films that were released last year. Lenin is being produced under the banners of Manam Enterprises LLP and Sithara Entertainments by Akkineni Nagarjuna and Suryadevara Naga Vamsi. 

Akhil Akkineni tied the knot with his fiancée Zainab Ravdjee on June 6 last year. The duo got married in a traditional Telugu wedding ceremony at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, among family and friends.

It was also recently announced that actress Tabu has joined the filming of Nagarjuna Akkineni's landmark 100th film, which is tentatively titled 'King 100'. The actress made this announcement on social media. "And we begin with the #King100 #Nagarjuna @annapurnastudios," she wrote. The upcoming film will be directed by Ra Karthik, who recently directed Priyanka Arul Mohan in the Netflix film Made In Korea.

The duo, who was seen in 1996 blockbuster Ninne Pelladata, last shared screen space in the 1998 film Aavida Maa Aavide. In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Nagarjuna said it was a fantastic time for the movies today.
