When and where to stream Lenin

Lenin will stream on Zee5 from August 7 only in Telugu, its original language of release. Making the announcement, the OTT platform released a new trailer. Their caption read: “The roar begins. A story of love, revenge, and revolution is all set to take over your screens. #Lenin premieres on August 7, exclusively on Telugu Zee 5. #BlockbusterLENIN.” The trailer, which gives a glimpse of the story, features a voiceover by Akhil’s dad, actor Nagarjuna Akkineni.

Nagarjuna also shot a special promotional video to announce the OTT release of Lenin, in which he remarks he’s happy about the date, as August is his birthday month too. It was captioned, “Koduthunnam kaadu... Kottesam anthe! Theatres lo miss ayithe...Zee 5 lo miss avvakandi. (Don’t say we’re winning, we have won. If you’ve missed it in theatres, don’t miss it on Zee5) A special thanks to #KingNagarjuna Garu for taking the time to support #BlockbusterLENIN. Your encouragement means a lot to us. #LENIN streams from August 7, exclusively on Telugu Zee 5.”
