Makers: ‘Akhanda 2 will get a new release date’

The highly anticipated sequel “Akhanda 2: Thaandavam,” starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, will not be arriving on September 25, 2025 as originally announced. The makers confirmed that a new release date will be revealed soon.

Bringing back the blockbuster combination of Balakrishna and Boyapati for the fourth time, the film has already generated massive hype with its teaser creating a sensation across languages.

In their official statement, the production company, 14 Reels Plus, said that a project of this scale requires extensive work in re-recording, VFX, and post-production, which demands more time to ensure the best cinematic experience. They assured fans that the delay is to maintain uncompromised quality, breathtaking visuals, and an ultimate theatrical impact.

The statement further added: “Akhanda 2 will not just be a film, it will be a festival of cinema. We are fully committed to exceeding expectations and delivering a theatrical experience worth the wait.”

With Akhanda being a blockbuster, expectations are sky-high for its sequel, and the team is working round the clock to match that legacy.

The statement:

“Akhanda 2 brings back the blockbuster combination of Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu, a duo celebrated for redefining mass action entertainers and creating some of the most iconic moments in Telugu cinema. Ever since its announcement, the film has stood as one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema, with the teaser creating a sensation across languages and amplifying expectations to a whole new level.

For a film of this scale, the re-recording,VFX, and the entire post-production process demands meticulous attention, and therefore require additional time to present the film at its absolute best considering the weight of expectations. Akhanda 2 carries following the blockbuster success of the first part.

The team is really excited about this project and is working tirelessly, round the clock, to deliver Akhanda 2 on a truly unprecedented scale, with uncompromised quality, breathtaking visuals, and the ultimate theatrical impact. In light of this, we have decided to move the release to a later date that will be announced soon, instead of the originally scheduled September 25th. We are fully committed to exceeding all the expectations and giving audiences a theatrical experience worth the wait.”
