Nagarjuna Backs Akhil’s Lenin for June 26 Release Despite Peddi Clash

Nagarjuna throws full support behind Akhil Akkineni’s Lenin

Star producer and actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has sparked fresh excitement around Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming film Lenin. After viewing the film’s first cut, Nagarjuna took to social media to share his pride, declaring he is “super impressed” and urging fans to mark June 26, 2026 as a date to remember. “People are going to see a new Akhil on screen,” Nagarjuna promised, signalling a potential turning point in his son’s career.

Akhil has experimented with various genres in recent years, from Agent to Most Eligible Bachelor and Mr. Majnu, but a major box office blockbuster has eluded him so far. With Lenin, director Murali Kishor Abburu and leading lady Bhagyashri Borse are aiming to showcase Akhil in an all-new light, with music by Thaman adding extra buzz. Fans have been abuzz online, especially given the high stakes and Nagarjuna’s visible confidence.

What truly sets the stage for drama is the timing: Buchi Babu Sana’s much-awaited Peddi starring Ram Charan is also eyeing a June release, potentially just a day before Lenin hits screens. Despite this looming clash, the Lenin team has not shifted its date, sticking to the previously announced June 26. Nagarjuna’s unwavering endorsement, as shown in his social media post, highlights the faith the team has in their film.

With both Lenin and Peddi poised for a close box office encounter, all eyes are on how audiences will respond. For now, fans can look forward to a high-voltage showdown this June, with Nagarjuna’s belief offering Lenin a significant boost ahead of release.
