New Delhi, March 29 The makers of the upcoming Telugu action-drama "Lenin", starring Akhil Akkineni, have announced the new release date of the film, which will hit the big screen on June 26.
Produced under the banners of Annapurna Studios and Sithara Entertainments, the film is directed by Murali Kishor Abburu and also stars Bhagyashri Borse alongside Akkineni. It was previously set to release on May 1.
The changes have been made to avoid a clash with Ram Charan's film "Peddi", which will release on April 30.
The production banner shared the news on its official X handle on Saturday.
"Update on 'Lenin' release date. The release of 'Lenin', which was originally scheduled for May 1, will now be postponed... With our dearest Mega Power Star Ram Charan's 'Peddi' arriving on April 30, we believe it is the right time to celebrate cinema together in a positive and healthy environment.
"We all know the bond Ram Charan garu shares with Akhil garu and how he has always been a constant well wisher. This decision comes with utmost respect and regard," read the text accompanying the post.
"We assure you that 'Lenin' will be a complete celebration of cinema packed with every emotion and presented in the team's finest form. We are committed to bringing you the best possible experience on the big screen. Thank you for your continued love and support. Team Lenin'," it added.
The film will have music composed by S Thaman, with Navin Nooli serving as the editor.
