So far, Akkineni Akhil has had only one box office hit in his career—Most Eligible Bachelor. All of his other films ended up as major disappointments at the box office. Now, after a gap of three years, Akhil has returned to the big screen with Lenin, which was released on Friday. He had pinned high hopes on the film. Compared to his previous outings, however, many viewers believe Lenin is a much better film. Although the movie has received mixed reviews, it appears that Akhil has managed to get his career back on track with this release.
On its opening day, Lenin grossed ₹16.7 crore worldwide. The film's production team officially announced the collection figures. Alongside Akhil, Bhagyashri Borse has also made a strong impression with her performance in Lenin. The film has been jointly produced by Akkineni Nagarjuna and Sithara Entertainments. Although the film's release was postponed several times, the makers took several precautions before finally bringing it to audiences. Tollywood circles believe those efforts are now paying off.
