‘Akhanda 2: Thaandavam' eyes new release date!
Natasimha Balakrishna's much-awaited action-packed sequel Akhanda Thaandavam is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Directed by mass-action specialist Boyapati Srinu, the film follows the massive success of Akhanda and is now being crafted as a pan-India entertainer. Initially announced for a grand theatrical release on September 25, 2025, the film has been generating significant buzz. However, reports now suggest that Akhanda Thaandavam may not hit theatres as planned. The reason? A potential box-office face-off with Power Star Pawan Kalyan's OG, which is also slated for release on the same day. Given the high stakes, sources close to the production reveal that the makers of Akhanda Thaandavam are reconsidering their release strategy. Insiders report that some key talkie portions and a few songs are yet to be filmed. Moreover, a crucial shooting schedule planned at Prayagraj was recently cancelled due to unforeseen issues. With VFX work still pending and promotional activities planned nationwide, the team is leaning toward a new date. Currently, the makers are eyeing December 18, 2025 as a likely alternative. An official announcement is expected soon. While fans are disappointed by the delay, expectations remain high for Akhanda Thaandavam to deliver a mass spectacle worthy of the wait.

Akhanda 2 Teaser: Who Is the Fierce New Face Opposite Balakrishna?
1/7 The teaser for Akhanda 2, released on Tuesday, has sparked immense excitement among fans. Rather than just creating the usual buzz, it felt like a complete treat for those who had been eagerly awaiting an update. Just a single intense shot was enough to electrify the audience. When Nandamuri Balakrishna teams up with director Boyapati Srinu, expectations naturally soar. (News18 Telugu) Some of the action sequences shown in the teaser may have drawn criticism had any other actor performed them. But with Balakrishna, fans accept them with admiration. These larger-than-life scenes seem to be made for him as only he can deliver them with such energy and conviction. (News18 Telugu) 3/7 Director Boyapati Srinu has taken a unique approach to editing this teaser. Every frame is visually grand and powerful, from beginning to end. One shot in particular, a close-up of a mysterious and intense eye, has become a talking point on social media. Viewers are now curious to find out who is behind this intriguing look. (News18 Telugu) 4/7 Industry rumours suggest that the man in the shot is none other than Aadhi Pinisetty, a well-known actor in both the Tamil and Telugu film industries. His dramatic transformation in the teaser has made him nearly unrecognisable. Aadhi is reportedly playing the role of an Aghori or Naga Sadhu, someone deeply knowledgeable in Tantric practices. The film is said to revolve around a strong face-off between his character and Balakrishna's. (News18 Telugu) 5/7 This speculation has caught fire on social media, but the real story will only be confirmed once the film hits theatres. Aadhi has portrayed powerful antagonists before when he played the villain in Sarrainodu and took on Pawan Kalyan in Agnyaathavaasi. His ability to command the screen in such roles is well established. (News18 Telugu) 6/7 One of Aadhi's most acclaimed performances came in Rangasthalam, where he played Kumar Babu, the elder brother of Ram Charan's character. His portrayal was so natural and convincing that many felt he didn't just act the part, he lived it. Since then, he has consistently taken on key roles, both as a villain and as a supporting actor, showcasing his versatility. (News18 Telugu)
