King Akkineni Nagarjuna’s speech at the Lenin pre-release event carried a familiar sentiment that has now become a pattern.
During his speech, Nagarjuna confidently declared, “వస్తున్నాం… కొడుతున్నాం”, referring to Lenin’s July 10 release.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time he has used the line.
Nagarjuna first said it ahead of his own Naa Saami Ranga release. He repeated the same sentiment during Thandel . Now, for the third time, he has once again chosen those very words, this time to express his confidence in Akhil’s Lenin.
Nagarjuna Repeats His Sentiment

ఇప్పుడు #LENIN

The bigger point is that Nagarjuna’s confidence isn’t based on blind optimism.
From the early stages of development, he has been deeply involved with Lenin. His contribution reportedly goes beyond production responsibilities, extending into story discussions and several key creative decisions. Both Akhil and producer Naga Vamsi have openly acknowledged Nagarjuna’s involvement in shaping the project.
That explains why he appears so personally invested in the film’s success.
Now the real test begins.
The industry is waiting to see whether this confidence translates into box office success. The release timing also appears favorable, with audiences looking for a solid theatrical entertainer.
More importantly, Akhil badly needs a breakthrough at this stage of his career. If Lenin lives up to the expectations created by its own team, July 10 could become the turning point everyone around the project has been confidently predicting.
