Akhanda 2 Release: When Will Balakrishna’s Movie Hit Theatres?

The release of Akhanda 2 has not been announced yet, and fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna are already feeling anxious. Disappointment has been a common feeling among the Tollywood fans, especially because Balakrishna, an iconic actor with more than 50 years of experience, was going to be coming back to cinemas. Eagerly across the three states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the fans are asking: When will Akhanda 2 come out?

Financial Dispute Behind the Delay

The issue that caused the delay in the release was the economic disagreements between the producers and Eros International. Rumors claim that Eros has not wanted to pay the money that is due to them, which is why the Madras High Court has postponed indefinitely the release of the film. The situation has turned into a significant challenge and one of the most frustrating production hurdles for the whole Telugu film industry to deal with.

Balakrishna’s Reaction and Efforts

Balakrishna has shown great discontent with the whole issue according to the reports. Sources say he, by himself with the director Boyapati Srinu, has tried many times to resolve the financial issues and get a release date. He is telling the producers to fast track the clearance so the movie can be seen by the public without any further delay.

Possible Release Window

A few insiders are saying that if the financial issues are resolved very quickly, Akhanda 2 could be released in as little time as a week. However, there will be a problem of unavailable theatre slots, so the film might even be moved to summer next year. Industry insiders are saying that even if the producers give out a date for the release, there would still be some doubt until all matters regarding finance and distribution are sorted out.

OTT Release Plans

The overseas distributors are reported to have said that they cannot yet verify the international release calendar. The premiere for North America is also not decided yet. And the date for OTT release seems to be dependent on the streaming partners, with Netflix and the like being the ones who will be eventually making the announcement. Analysts in the trade speculate that unresolved financial disputes may also dictate the timing of the OTT release.

In the meantime, fans are longing for the day of Akhanda 2’s release to come, which is the day when Balakrishna's fans will finally be able to see a cinematic spectacle that they have been waiting for.
