Chennai, Jan 2 (NationPress) The team behind the highly anticipated film ‘Lenin’, directed by Murali Kishor Abburu and starring Akhil Akkineni alongside Bhagyashri Borse, unveiled the first look poster featuring Bhagyashri Borse as Bharathi in this action-packed entertainer. On Friday, the production company, Sithara Entertainments, shared this exciting reveal across their social media platforms and announced the release of the first single on January 5th.

The poster came with the tagline, “Introducing the love of Lenin, Bharathi,” and it also hinted at a summer 2026 release for the film. The buzz around the project has been immense, especially after it was noted that Sree Leela was initially slated for the female lead role but had to step away due to scheduling conflicts, paving the way for Bhagyashri Borse.

Last year, to commemorate Akhil Akkineni's birthday, the filmmakers had released a teaser video that set high expectations. The glimpse opened with visuals reminiscent of the climactic battle in the epic Mahabharata, showcasing Akhil Akkineni in a powerful stance, portraying determination and readiness for a confrontation. A voiceover adds depth, stating, “My dad said that when one is born, one has life and no name. Similarly, when one dies, one does not have life and only the name remains. How that name should be remembered is…” before the title ‘Lenin’ emerges. The film is accompanied by a tagline that states, “No war is more violent than love.”

With heightened anticipation surrounding its release, the film boasts cinematography by Naveen Kumar and music composed by Thaman, while editing duties are handled by Navin Nooli.
