With the postponement of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2, the situation is somewhat uncertain, particularly for small films like Mowgli 2025 and Shambhala, which could be impacted by the new release date.

Similarly, Champion, Dandora, and Shambhala are set to be released on December 25th, and all these films will likely be affected.
