Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 Postponed; Makers Issue Statement: ‘This Is a Painful Moment for Us…’

The sequel to the 2021 hit was postponed due to technical problems, affecting special premieres in three states and disappointing fans nationwide.

  • On December 5, Akhanda 2's planned release was postponed, makers citing unavoidable circumstances and calling it a painful moment for fans.
  • Akhanda 2 follows the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda and is produced by Ram Achanta, Gopi Achanta and Ishan Saksena under 14 Reels Plus and IVY Entertainment, featuring Samyuktha Menon and Aadhi Pinisetty.
  • Special premiere shows scheduled for Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka were cancelled due to technical issues despite a ticket-price hike approved by Telugu states for Thursday.
  • Issuing apologies, the makers thanked fans and movie lovers, said they are working tirelessly to resolve the matter and promised to share a positive update very soon.
  • Given Akhanda's strong box-office performance, delay raises commercial stakes for the sequel, as Akhanda was made on a budget of Rs 50 crore and grossed Rs 117 crore worldwide.
