Nagarjuna Confirms Release Date for Akhil’s Lenin Despite Peddi

After a long hiatus, Akhil is all set to return to the screen with Lenin. The makers of the movie have announced June 26, 2026, as the release date. Recently, at an event, director Buchi Babu Sana announced that Peddi has been postponed to June 25, 2026. This led to rumors that Akhil’s Lenin might also be postponed to avoid a box office clash. However, Nagarjuna put all rumors to rest by confirming the original release date of June 26, 2026. Beyond the confirmation, Nagarjuna shared a brief review of the film. He wrote on X: ‘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 theaters.’ Initially, Sreeleela was roped in to play the female lead, but she walked out due to a busy schedule. Bhagyashri Borse replaced her and will now play the female lead in the film.
