The makers of director Murali Kishor Abburu’s eagerly awaited film ‘Lenin,’ featuring Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse in lead roles, have unveiled the first look poster of actress Bhagyashri in the film. It has been announced that she will portray a character named Bharathi in this action entertainer.
Sithara Entertainments, the production house collaborating with actor Nagarjuna, took to their social media accounts to share the poster. In their post, they wrote, “Vareva vareva.. vavva vavva vareva.. Introducing #BhagyashriBorse from #LENIN. First Single from JAN 5th.”
The shared poster carried the caption, “Introducing the love of Lenin, Bharathi.” Additionally, it confirmed that the film is expected to be released in the summer of 2026.
The film has generated significant excitement among fans and cinema enthusiasts. Notably, actress Sree Leela was originally set to play the female lead opposite Akhil Akkineni, but she opted out due to scheduling conflicts, leading to Bhagyashri’s casting.
On Akhil Akkineni’s birthday last year, the filmmakers also released a glimpse video of the film. This glimpse opens with scenes reminiscent of the final battle from the epic Mahabharata, introducing Akhil Akkineni’s character, who appears with an intense expression and a clenched fist, suggesting readiness for conflict. A voiceover narrates, “My dad said that when one is born, one has life and no name. Similarly, when one dies, one does not have life and only the name remains. How that name should be remembered is…” before the title ‘Lenin’ is revealed. The film features the tagline: “No war is more violent than love.”
With high expectations, the film showcases cinematography by Naveen Kumar and music composed by Thaman. Editing will be handled by Navin Nooli.
