Hyderabad, July 7
Akhil Akkineni expressed his gratitude to Jr NTR for extending support to his upcoming Telugu film Lenin, which will hit theatres on July 10.
Akkineni shared snaps from his meeting with Jr NTR, in which he was seen hugging the 'Devara' actor while expressing his gratitude for the support.
While sharing the snaps, the actor wrote, "Thank you, Tiger. Thanks for roaring for Lenin."
'Lenin', starring Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse in the lead roles, is an upcoming Telugu-language action drama directed by Murali Kishor Abburu and produced by Nagarjuna Akkineni under Manam Enterprises LLP, along with Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments.
Set against a gritty Rayalaseema backdrop, the story follows a fierce protagonist navigating intense family and political conflict in his journey to carve out a legacy. The film features music composed by S Thaman.
The teaser was released on May 23, Nagarjuna Akkineni's special day in his cinematic journey, marking 40 years as a lead actor since his debut film Vikram.
Ahead of the theatrical release of the upcoming Telugu action drama 'Lenin', producer and actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, his son Akhil Akkineni, actress Bhagyashri Borse, producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi, and members of the film's team visited the Tirumala Temple on Monday to seek blessings.
The team was seen dressed in traditional attire in accordance with temple customs as they offered prayers ahead of the film's release.
The veteran actor expressed gratitude to fans on the occasion and also recalled his journey, including his earlier collaboration with his father, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, in the film Manam, which also featured Naga Chaitanya, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Shriya Saran.

The Tirumala visit before the release feels so authentic—it's a tradition that connects us to our roots. Nagarjuna garu's 40-year journey is inspiring. Hope the film has a strong script to match the hype. All the best to the team!
Its nice to see Akhil getting support from senior stars like Jr NTR. But I hope the movie focuses on the story and not just star cameos. Lenin needs to be more than just a family drama to stand out. Let's see on July 10!
Manam was a landmark film—so touching to see Nagarjuna and his father together. Now Akhil carrying on that legacy with Lenin. This is what Telugu cinema is all about: family, tradition, and entertainment. Booking my tickets already!
I appreciate the team's effort in promoting the film with temple visits and touching messages. But I wish they'd talk more about the plot and less about the hype. Action dramas need strong character arcs—hope Lenin has that depth. 🙏
Jr NTR's "Tiger" nickname suits him perfectly! Seeing these moments between actors makes me more excited for the film. Akhil has potential—hope Lenin becomes his breakthrough. Thaman's music is always a plus! 🎶
