Akhanda 2: The much-awaited Akhanda 2 Thaandavam by Nandamuri Balakrishna is finally set for release on December 12, 2025, after its shocking postponement last week. However, the film may still face troubles in the state of Telangana.
While movie ticket bookings have already started in Andhra Pradesh thanks to a prompt government order during the earlier release attempt, Telangana government order took too long before a financial dispute erupted between key parties, resulting in the postponement.
Will Akhanda 2 Thaandavam Have A Smooth Release on December 12?
If premiers for Akhanda 2 Thaandavam start tomorrow night, theaters would be expected to open bookings today itself. This would happen only if the Telangana government issues the government order in the next few hours.
What is the Issue With The Akhanda 2 Release?
The release of Akhanda 2 was restrained by the Madras High Court after a dispute over the production house 14 Reels Plus LLP not having successfully discharged a liability of ₹27.70 crores by its group firm 14 Reels Entertainment Private Limited in the favour of Eros International Media Limited.
Actor Balakrishna and Director Boyapati Sreenu stepped in to save the movie from the crisis by taking pay cuts.
What’s Special About Akhanda 2 Thaandavam?
The trailer of Akhanda 2 Thaandavam was praised for the awe-inspiring entry of Balakrishna in a stunning Aghori style, mind-blowing Hanuman entry and intense sequences. The movie promises a blend of action, fiction and large-scale mass scenes following the success of its predecessor in 2021. Akhanda 1 earned more than ₹150 crores worldwide, emerging as the third highest-grossing Telugu film of the year and it was the highest-grossing film in Balakrishna then.
What Are the Fans Saying?
Fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna are urging the movie team to be more proactive and aggressive this time. They have urged the makers to secure the Telangana government order without delays to avoid any last-minute problem.
