Actor Akhil Akkineni's latest film, Lenin, has struck a chord with audiences, emerging as a strong box office success.
Presented by Annapurna Studios, the film has grossed over 60 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, earning widespread appreciation from moviegoers. Expressing gratitude to the audience for showering love on his film, Akhil in a press note said, "Given the overwhelming response, the positivity I have received from the audience, and the respect they are giving me--yes, it's way, way more than box office numbers." He added that while box office performance remains the ultimate priority for the distribution network and producers, "beyond that, it's an emotional journey that has found its redemption at the end." He said, "For all the people who believed in me, and everyone who wanted me to win, this is their victory. The last three to four days have given many people countless reasons to feel proud. Yes, the journey has been worth it, and it's the redemption that counts. I'm just in an incredible amount of relief that all the people who supported me finally got their redemption." The actor further underscored how the Murali Kishor Abburu directorial, co-starring Bhagyashri Borse, has already emerged as a highly lucrative venture for its investors. "Today, my distributors called me to share that the film has recovered its investment and they are in profit," Akhil revealed. "I just can't tell you how much it means for everyone who has believed in me and in this project. It's an emotional answer, but it's the plain and simple truth." Set against a gritty Rayalaseema backdrop, the story follows a fierce protagonist navigating intense family and political conflict in his journey to carve out a legacy. The film features music composed by S Thaman. (ANI)
