Young actor Akhil Akkineni is in need of a strong comeback after the 2023 debacle Agent, which continued to face trolling even after its recent OTT debut. With expectations riding high, Akhil has pinned his hopes on the commercial action entertainer Lenin, directed by Murali Krishna Abburu, popularly known as Nandu.
Fresh buzz around the film suggests that Akhil’s father, Superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni, recently watched the rushes of Lenin. Reportedly, he suggested a brief reshoot to fine-tune certain portions ahead of the film’s release. While the principal shoot is almost complete, industry chatter indicates that the makers may return to the sets for a little over a week to incorporate these changes.
Murali Krishna Abburu previously directed Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnukatha starring Kiran Abbavaram, and Nagarjuna is said to be keen on ensuring that Lenin does not end up as an average outing for Akhil. Set against a rural Rayalaseema backdrop, the film is positioned as a mass action drama—an important project for Akhil, who has been striving to firmly establish himself. Reshoots, after all, are not uncommon, especially when they contribute to improving the final output.
Meanwhile, the film’s female lead has also been a talking point. Initially, Sreeleela was announced as the heroine and even featured in an early teaser. However, she was later replaced by Bhagyashri Borse. With her performance in Kaantha earning praise and showcasing her acting potential, Bhagyashri is now seen as a valuable addition to the project.
All eyes are now on Lenin to see whether it can deliver the much-needed comeback Akhil Akkineni is hoping for.
