Balakrishna Blames Thaman For Akhanda 2 Release Delay

The story of a film’s release is often as dramatic as the film itself. In the case of Akhanda 2, the sequel to Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati’s blockbuster, the buzz is as loud as the hero’s punch dialogues. Fans had circled the 25th of this month on their calendars, but the wait just got longer.

Officially, the makers had cited pending shoot schedules as the reason for the postponement. Unofficially, whispers spread that Pawan Kalyan’s OG storming theatres on the same date had forced the team to step back. But Balakrishna, never one to mince words, decided to put another twist to the tale.

Speaking to the media, Balakrishna placed the spotlight on music director Thaman. “The time we gave him was not enough,” he said. “In the first part, the subwoofers exploded. Now, imagine what this film will be like. Akhanda 2 will not be double, but 50 times more.” His playful remark, though light in tone, made headlines instantly. The audience, who already associate Thaman with high-voltage mass beats, are now expecting an even bigger audio storm this time.

The new release date for the movie is set for the first week of December. Whether it was Pawan Kalyan's competition or Thaman's desire to be perfect, one thing is certain, Balakrishna knows how to keep his fans excited. As the countdown starts again, the excitement about Akhanda 2 is getting stronger. In the movie world, delays can make fans upset, but sometimes they just make the cheers at the movie's release even bigger.
