Actor Sivaji expressed strong confidence in Lenin at the film’s pre-release event, saying he believes the action drama will emerge as a major blockbuster when it hits theatres on July 10. Calling it one of the most special films of his career, the actor said Lenin has all the ingredients to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
Looking back on his journey in the film industry, Sivaji recalled that his acting career began with an opportunity from Annapurna Studios through Nagarjuna. He thanked Nagarjuna for his continued encouragement and also expressed gratitude to director YVS Chowdary for his support over the years.
Speaking about Lenin, Sivaji said the film is driven by its characters rather than star personas. According to him, audiences will see only the characters on screen, not the actors portraying them. He added that the film perfectly suits Akhil and delivers exactly what fans have been hoping to see from the young actor.
Praising Akhil’s performance, Sivaji said he has known him since childhood and feels proud to watch his transformation into the powerful character of Lenin. He also spoke about Nagarjuna’s dedication as a father, saying he has personally witnessed the effort and commitment behind Akhil’s journey, and believes Lenin reflects that passion.
Sivaji also appreciated actress Bhagya Shri Borse for her performance and said viewers would remember his own character, Yathiraju, after watching the film. He described music director Thaman’s soundtrack as one of the film’s biggest strengths, adding that the music enhances the overall cinematic experience.
Describing Lenin as a “social Mahabharata,” Sivaji said the film carries a strong emotional and dramatic core that will connect with audiences. He expressed confidence that it would become another successful film for the Akkineni family.
The actor also shared that he feels fortunate to have worked with three generations of the Akkineni family, including Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna, and now Akhil. Concluding his speech, Sivaji wished the entire team success and expressed confidence that Lenin would enjoy a grand worldwide release on July 10, signing off with the enthusiastic remark, “King Junior is coming!”
