The highly anticipated film Akhanda 2 Thaandavam, starring Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Srinu, has been officially postponed. The film was initially scheduled for release on September 25, but the makers have decided to delay the release to ensure that the post-production work meets their expectations. The production house cited the need for meticulous attention to detail in the VFX and post-production process as the reason for the postponement.
The makers of Akhanda 2 have stated that the film's scale and complexity require additional time to present it at its absolute best. They are committed to exceeding audience expectations and delivering a theatrical experience worth the wait. The film's teaser has generated significant buzz, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. With the postponement, the makers are likely to announce a new release date soon.
Akhanda 2's release date clash on September 25 with other big film, Pawan Kalyan's OG, was a major concern. Meanwhile, Prabhas' The Raja Saab and Vijay's Jana Nayagan are set to release on January 9, 2026, which means a box office battle between the two superstars is confirmed. Other films, including Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Naveen Polishetty's Anaganaga Oka Raju are also vying for Sankranthi releases. So, as per reports mostly Akhanda 2 will release on December 5.
