"I didn't see Akhil on screen. I only saw Lenin" : Nagarjuna

The pre-release event of Lenin, starring Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse, was held in Tirupati with a huge crowd of fans. The event became more exciting after Akkineni Nagarjuna gave an emotional and confident speech about the movie.

Nagarjuna said that director Murali Kishor Abburu first told him the story, which is set in Sriramapuram. He shared that his father was also born in a village with the same name, making the story feel special to him. He said he liked the script from the beginning because every character has depth and the second half has many unexpected twists.

Talking about the love story in the film, Nagarjuna said, "Many kingdoms have fallen because of love. Many wars happened because of love. Lenin also has a beautiful love story. Anyone can fight many battles for Bharati (Bhagyashri Borse) because she is so beautiful." He praised Bhagyashri Borse and said she is the heartbeat of the movie. He also appreciated the performances of Shivaji, Brahmaji, and Sunil, saying they all worked very hard for the film.

Nagarjuna also praised music director S. Thaman, editor Naveen Nooli, and cinematographer Britto for their excellent work. He said producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi understands what mass audiences enjoy and has full confidence in the movie.

Speaking about Akhil, Nagarjuna admitted that he was first worried whether Akhil would suit such a powerful village-based role. However, after watching the film, his opinion completely changed. He said, "I did not see Akhil on screen. I only saw Lenin. People will love his emotions, his anger, and his journey."

Nagarjuna ended his speech with a powerful statement that thrilled fans. He said, "July 10 we are coming, our boy is going to win." Fans know that whenever Nagarjuna gives such a confident statement before a release, he strongly believes the film will become a big success.

Producer Naga Vamsi also praised Akhil's hard work and promised that the movie has many surprises, especially during the interval and the final 40 minutes. Lenin is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on July 10, and expectations are now higher than ever.
