Tollywood actor Akhil Akkineni is all set to surprise fans with a powerful transformation in his next movie, titled Lenin. Released on the occasion of his birthday, the glimpse has created quite a buzz on YouTube, showing Akhil in a rugged and massy look — a first in his career.
Known for romantic and feel-good roles, Akhil is now stepping into the mass action genre with this film. Lenin is directed by Murali Kishor Abburu and produced by Nagarjuna and Naga Vamsi under the banners of Annapurna Studios and Sithara Entertainments. The film also stars the ever-charming Sree Leela as the female lead.
The background music by Thaman adds intensity to the visuals, which look rich and stylish. Fans have welcomed the change and are hopeful this could be the blockbuster Akhil has been waiting for, especially after the disappointing performance of Agent.
With high expectations and a fresh genre shift, Lenin could mark a turning point in Akhil’s career. The release date is yet to be announced, but one thing’s for sure — all eyes are now on Akhil next movie!
