Lenin is written and directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, and jointly produced by Nagarjuna and Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under the banners Manam Enterprises LLP and Sithara Entertainments, presented by Annapurna Studios. According to the trade website Sacnilk, the film has collected ₹49.14 crore net in India and ₹67.09 crore gross worldwide since its release.
Lenin stars Akhil and Bhagyashri Borse in the lead roles, alongside Sivaji, Sunil, Easwari Rao, Brahmaji, Getup Srinu, Ramki, Pramod Panju and others. It tells the story of a young man whose personal journey evolves into a larger battle for injustice. An emotional love story gradually unfolds into an intense conflict rooted in family bonds, power struggles and the unwavering determination to protect one's people.
Akhil’s last film, Surender Reddy’s spy film Agent in 2023, failed to make a mark and made only ₹13.40 crore worldwide despite being mounted on a massive budget. Lenin proved to be a comeback for the actor who has been waiting for a hit.
