No Akhanda 3 The Franchise Comes to an End

Akhanda 2, despite its big-budget launch and hype, failed to resonate with audiences, leading to losses in several regions. As a result, the makers have scrapped plans for Akhanda 3, effectively ending the franchise.

Director Boyapati Srinu had left a cliffhanger in Akhanda, setting the stage for a sequel. Riding on the super hit success of the first film, Akhanda 2 aimed for pan-India glory, with pre-release promises of parts 3, 4, 5, and more. The sequel even teased Akhanda 3 in its finale, but poor reception has now put those plans to rest.

The disappointment of Akhanda 2 doesn’t spell the end for the Balakrishna-Boyapati Srinu duo, though. They’re gearing up for a fresh collaboration, a social-commercial entertainer akin to their hits Simha and Legend. Fans can expect a new thrill, just not with the Akhanda saga.

While the franchise won’t continue, the chemistry between Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu remains strong. The focus now shifts to crafting a story that blends entertainment with a social message, promising something exciting down the line. In short, Akhanda 2, may have closed a chapter, but the duo are already eyeing their next big hit.
