“I Am Thankful To The Audience,” Says Naga Chaitanya As He Celebrates Akhil’s Lenin Success

Akhil Akkineni is finally enjoying the blockbuster success he had been waiting for. His action drama Lenin , directed by Murali Kishor Abburu , has emerged as a massive crowd-puller and continues its impressive theatrical run into the second weekend. Co-starring Bhagyashri Borse , the film has turned out to be the biggest commercial success of Akhil's career, crossing the Rs. 61 crore mark worldwide and ensuring distributors recovered their investments within the opening weekend itself.

The film's success has become a proud moment for the Akkineni family. During the inauguration of a new RS Brothers showroom in Boduppal , Naga Chaitanya attended the event along with his wife Sobhita Dhulipala , where hundreds of fans gathered to welcome the couple.

Interacting with the crowd, Chaitanya couldn't hide his happiness over his younger brother's blockbuster success.

"My younger brother Akhil scored a super hit with Lenin. I am thankful to the audience. I am coming up with Vrushakarma shortly," he said, drawing thunderous cheers from fans.

The actor's heartfelt statement quickly went viral on social media, with Akkineni fans celebrating the brothers' mutual support. Chaitanya had also congratulated Akhil soon after Lenin released, writing that his brother's hard work had paid off and thanking audiences for showering the film with love.

While Lenin continues its dream run at the box office, excitement is now shifting towards Naga Chaitanya's upcoming big-ticket entertainer Vrushakarma . Directed by Virupaksha fame Karthik Dandu , the mystical action adventure has generated tremendous buzz ever since its first glimpse was unveiled. Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the female lead, and the film has already created waves in the trade by reportedly securing a Rs. 50 crore OTT and satellite deal with Zee5 even before the completion of its shoot, highlighting the industry's confidence in the project.

With Lenin giving Akhil the comeback he long deserved and Vrushakarma shaping up as one of Naga Chaitanya's most anticipated films, the Akkineni brothers are clearly enjoying a memorable phase in their careers. Fans, meanwhile, are eagerly waiting to see whether Chaitanya can continue the family's winning streak when Vrushakarma finally arrives in theatres.
