A fan suggests a new name for Akhil… Is there such a story behind the name ‘Naga Akhil’?

Young Akkineni hero Akhil’s upcoming film Lenin, directed by Murali Kishore Abburu, is set for release on the 10th of this month. As the release date approaches, the film team has intensified its promotions. A grand pre-release event held in Tirupati turned into a fan-fest, drawing huge crowds. Amid speeches by Akhil and Nagarjuna, it was a devoted fan’s unique suggestion that grabbed everyone’s attention, quickly going viral on social media.

The fan proposed renaming Akhil as “Naga Akhil,” explaining the strong emotional sentiment behind it. According to him, the name carries blessings from four key members of the Akkineni family. The word “Naga” represents grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao and father Nagarjuna, while the letter “A” symbolizes grandmother Annapurna and mother Amala. The heartfelt idea received thunderous applause at the event, and netizens are now praising the fan’s creativity, suggesting the name could bring luck if Lenin becomes a blockbuster.
