Akhil Akkineni is celebrating his 31st birthday today (April 8). The actor has gotten a lot of happy wishes from his family and industry friends, with messages coming in through the day.
Alongside the more personal shoutouts, there were also posts from people connected to his upcoming film Lenin, and the release date of the film was confirmed once again by the team. His father Nagarjuna and wife Zainab also wrote sweet notes to Akhil.
Nagarjuna, Zainab Kept It Personal
Nagarjuna’s message came in early and was super special. It wasn’t particularly long, but it carried the usual mix of pride and affection. The kind of note that doesn’t try to say too much, but still lands. He wrote, “Dear Son, happy birthday” and praised his ‘passion for life’.
Zainab’s post followed a similar tone. It was more direct, less layered. She sweetly wrote, “May today and everyday be filled with the best of everything” and posted a cute picture with her husband.
Venkatesh And Others Added To The List
As the day went on, more names came in. Venkatesh Daggubati was among those who shared a message, adding to the steady stream. His note read, “Wishing you happiness, good health and a wonderful year ahead.”
At the same time, posts from Team Lenin, Sitara Entertainments and Jani Master also popped up to wish him on his special day. With co-stars, friends, family and colleagues wishing Akhil, it turned out to be a wonderful birthday for the actor.
Lenin Team’s Special Birthday Wish
One of the more noticeable updates came from the team of Lenin. Marking the birthday, they shared a special poster. Along with it, they reconfirmed the film’s release date.
Recent speculation suggested that Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming film Lenin might advance its release to May 1. The buzz began after reports claimed the actor had earlier postponed the film to avoid a box office clash with Ram Charan’s Peddi, which was then slated for April 30. With Peddi now reportedly shifting to June, many assumed Lenin could move back to the earlier date.
However, the makers have now clarified that there is no change in plans. The film will stick to its previously announced release date of June 26, 2026, ruling out both advancement and delay. On the occasion of Akhil’s birthday, the team also unveiled a new poster from Lenin, confirming the release date once again. The poster showcases the actor in a striking new look, adding to the anticipation around the film.
