"A Deserving Victory!" Sivaji Credits King Nagarjuna’s Pure Dedication for the Blockbuster Success of 'Lenin'
The box office roar of Lenin has officialized its blockbuster status. Celebrating the massive wave of audience appreciation and box office numbers, the makers hosted a grand success meet in Hyderabad. A primary highlight of the event was a deeply emotional, powerful speech delivered by versatile actor Sivaji, who plays a vital role in the film.
Terming Lenin as one of the most creatively fulfilling and special projects of his entire career, Sivaji expressed his profound privilege in having collaborated with three distinct generations of the legendary Akkineni family.
Akhil’s 1.5-Year Relentless Grind Witnessed Firsthand
Sivaji loaded high praise on the leading hero, Akhil Akkineni, highlighting the young actor's absolute immersion into the craft over the past many months.
Sivaji on Akhil Akkineni's Commitment: "This phenomenal success is a victory that Akhil truly and thoroughly deserves. I have personally seen him grind tirelessly for nearly one and a half years for this project. He didn't just stop at his acting or dialogue delivery—Akhil was actively involved in looking after the production logistics, tracking the editing tables with Naveen Nooli, and sitting through music compositions with Thaman S. He treated this film like his baby."
Sivaji further added that he closely witnessed King Nagarjuna Akkineni’s relentless drive and determination behind the scenes as a father and a producer, working night and day to secure the perfect commercial breakthrough for his son.
A Lifelong Bond of Gratitude with the Akkineni Family
Taking a nostalgic walk down memory lane, Sivaji turned visibly emotional while recalling his long-standing association with the Akkineni banner.

Praising Bhagyashri Borse’s Prediction and Technical Crew
Sivaji fondly recalled that the leading lady, Bhagyashri Borse, had confidently predicted the film’s massive box office outcome well before the first premiere reactions dropped. He congratulated the core technical crew, including director Murali Kishor Abburu, music director Thaman S, and veteran choreographer Brinda Master, thanking the global Telugu audience for returning the team's hard work with unmatched love.
