Actor Akhil Akkineni is making a comeback after three years with Lenin, his last film was the 2023 flop Agent. His father, actor Nagarjuna, saw the film’s first cut and praised his son in his review.
Nagarjuna revealed on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that he watched the first cut of Akhil’s Lenin. He claimed that the audience will see a new side of his son in the film.
The internet, however, remains sceptical of this 're-re-launch’. Nagarjuna wrote, “watched the first cut of our film LENIN last night. I say this with confidence and pride… you are about to witness a new AKHIL on June 26 2026. mark the date!!! see you in the theatres.”
Akhil, the son of actors Nagarjuna and Amala, began his career as a child actor with the 1995 film Sisindri, when he was only a baby. He played a cameo in the Akkineni family’s 2014 tribute to ANR, Manam, but his debut was the 2015 film Akhil, which failed to impress.
The film Lenin also stars Bhagyashri Borse, who replaced Sreeleela in the film. The film will be released in theatres on June 26, and it remains to be seen if it changes the actor’s career.
