Nandamani Balakrishna's film Akhanda 2 has crossed the $1 million mark in North America during its fourth weekend, a testament to the star's enduring popularity. The film achieved this milestone on Saturday, December 27, despite receiving mostly below average reviews. This is Balakrishna's fifth consecutive film to collect $1 million in North America, setting a new record among senior actors.

The combination of Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu has delivered three blockbusters - Simha, Legend, and Akhanda and expectations were high for the sequel. Although Akhanda 2 didn't meet expectations at the box office, it still managed a decent theatrical run. The film was released in theaters on December 12, 2025.

Nandamuri Balakrishna has scored back to back five million dollar films in North America, a significant milestone considering his strong mass image and age as a senior hero.

This achievement is a testament to Balakrishna's enduring popularity and the strong connection he shares with his fans. With his impressive track record, fans are eagerly waiting for his next project.
