Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 was scheduled for a theatrical release today, December 5, but the release has been stalled due to financial issues, leaving the film in a major dilemma. Fans and media are receiving constant updates, with new reports surfacing every hour, only adding to the confusion.
Distributors are also facing uncertainty, as the information they receive keeps changing. At one moment, reports suggest that the problems have been resolved, and shortly after, fresh news emerges that the issues remain.
The latest update is that even if the financial and legal hurdles are cleared, overseas distributors are requesting a postponement since they cannot arrange screenings at such short notice. Overseas markets are crucial for big Telugu films, and losing that territory would be a major setback.
If the film is pushed to a later date, the producers will also need to renegotiate slots with Netflix for its digital release. By delaying financial settlements until the last minute, the producers have created a complicated situation, and now the film’s release remains stuck.
It is yet to be seen how the uncertainty surrounding Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 release will finally be resolved.
