'Akhanda 2' set for release in theatres on Dec 12

Mumbai, Dec 10 (UNI) The release calendar for 'Akhanda 2', the sequel starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, which was originally planned for a December 5, 2025, release, will now arrive nationwide on Dec 12, 2025, preceded by lavish premiere shows on December 11.
The makers shared the update via their official social media handle. The team wrote, "All set for the Divine Destruction at the box office. Feel the MASSive power of #Akhanda2 in theatres from December 12 with grand premieres on December 1th."
Industry insiders suggest that the delay was precipitated by financial disagreements among the stakeholders. Although senior members of the Telugu film fraternity attempted to mediate, the issue remained unresolved, preventing the film from meeting its original release schedule. As a result, both the theatrical release and the planned premiere shows of December 4 had to be shelved, leaving eager fans disappointed.
Akhanda 2 is an upcoming fantasy action drama starring NBK in the lead and serves as the sequel to 2021's Akhanda.
Directed by Boyapati Sreenu, the film continues the tale of Aghora Akhanda Rudra Sikandar as he faces a new and greater threat, aiming to put an end to the tyranny caused by his enemies.
The narrative is expected to explore the core theme of good vs. evil, with the veteran actor once again playing dual roles. Apart from NBK, the film also stars Samyuktha, Aadhi Pinisetty, Harshaali Malhotra, Kabir Duhan Singh, Saswata Chatterjee, and several others in key roles.
The first installment received mixed reviews from critics; however, audiences embraced it, and it became a major box-office hit, reports Pinkvilla.
Nandamuri Balakrishna is next set to collaborate with Jaat director Gopichand Malineni for the tentatively titled NBK111. The period action drama is said to feature the actor in dual roles, with Nayanthara playing the female lead. UNI NST KK
