Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming movie, Akhanda 2, is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The film has been officially postponed from Dasara due to pending post-production work, particularly the visual effects and background score. The first part of Akhanda performed well in theaters and on OTT platforms like Jio Hotstar.
The makers of Akhanda 2 have postponed the movie allegedly because they have not yet secured a fancy deal with any leading OTT platform. They plan to announce the release date once they finalize an OTT deal.
While the sequel is in huge demand, the makers are looking for the best possible deal. Akhanda 2's potential is massive, and they want to maximize their revenue.
This marks the fourth collaboration between Balakrishna and Boyapati, so expectations are incredibly high. The makers have also spent a lavish amount on its production.
The film's new release date is speculated to fall in December. It should be either the first week of December or the Christmas-New Year window. If the makers want to try their luck in the Hindi market, December would be more ideal than Sankranthi 2026, trade pundits opine.
