Nandamuri Balakrishna returns in Akhanda sequel

Nandamuri Balakrishna is gearing up for his highly anticipated Akhanda 2: Thaandavam. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the upcoming prequel to Akhanda, and the makers have just sent the fans into a frenzy with a new poster on Dussehra.

The team behind the film has shared the new poster confirming the Akhanda 2 release date. The makers shared the poster on their social media account with the caption, “Team #Akhanda2 wishes you all a very Happy Dussehra.”


The caption continued, “May the divine give us strength to fight the evil in our lives. The Thaandavam will shake the box office from DECEMBER 5th.”

The poster depicts Balayya in his full dharmic-warrior form, standing on one leg and holding a Trishul in a Lord Shiva-like pose. The image maintains the fierce Aghora persona that was popular in the first instalment, but it also has a sense of seriousness that suggests the sequel's loftier goals.

In the upcoming film, Samyuktha portrays the female lead, and Aadhi Pinisetty plays the antagonist. Directed by Boyapati Sreenu, the upcoming film is produced by Raam Achanta and Gopichand Achanta, with music composed by Thaman.

The film was initially planned to be released in the theatres on September 25. However, the film faced delays and is now pushed to December. The film has been postponed due to additional VFX and post-production delays.

The upcoming film explores a heartwarming journey depicting the connection between children's innocence, the natural world, and spiritual faith as communities strive for progress.

Akhanda 2 will release in the theatres on December 5.
