After a lot of anticipation, the makers of Balakrishna-Boyapati Srinu’s Akhanda 2 finally officially confirmed December 12 as the release date for their film. The Akhanda sequel is produced by 14 Reels Plus banner, with Raam Achanta and Gopi Achanta. Besides the release date announcement, the team also shared that they will organise special premiere shows on Thursday, December 11.
The new release date comes after 5 days of uncertainty and major upheaval in the entire industry, following the legal injunction ordered by Madras High Court on December 4 that instructed the Akhanda 2 producers to clear the payments due to Eros International, in order to proceed with their film’s release.
Meanwhile, Akhanda 2 now arriving on December 12 also means that other films scheduled for release that day will now likely reconsider their plans. Currently, besides Akhanda 2, other films set for December 12 release include Mowgli, Eesha, Psyche Siddhartha, and Drive.
Akhanda 2 marks the fourth collaboration between Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu after Akhanda, Simha and Legend. The film also stars Aadhi Pinisetty, Samyuktha and Harshaali Malhotra in lead cast. Thaman S has composed music for the film.
It also remains to be seen whether Akhanda 2 team will go ahead with their plans to release the film in Awadhi, as they had announced earlier.
