Akhil Akkineni’s Lenin, one of the most important releases of his career, hit cinemas on 10 July. The actor is hoping for a comeback with the rural action drama after a string of underwhelming box office performances, including Akhil, Hello, Mr. Majnu and Agent. Starring Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead and directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, the film has generated hype. Amid the excitement, Akhil’s former sister-in-law Samantha Ruth Prabhu extended her best wishes for Lenin, expressing her support for the film. Her gesture surprised many fans, who have speculated that Samantha and the Akkineni family are no longer on amicable terms.
