Financial issues pushed back the much-anticipated release of Akhanda 2, shocking everyone. While the fans are worried currently, the latest news is that Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu have stepped in to save their film from the crisis.

Some people gave it a shot to sort out the financial mess of the movie, but the amounts were massive, and no one managed to resolve anything, so they had to push back the film.

Currently, the team has not revealed any new release date, but there’s a possibility the film could come out on December 18th or during Christmas.

Meanwhile, there have been some serious developments in the proceedings as Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu have stepped in to save Akhanda 2 from the crisis.

Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu Come To The Rescue Of Akhanda 2 Producers

Word is that the actor and director are taking a hit on their remunerations to support the producer through tough times.

The director and hero have made a firm decision, making life a little easier for the producer. But just this will not be enough for the film to clear all the financial hurdles.

There are multiple financers’ clearances that are pending, standing as the obstacles for Akhanda 2’s release. We still don’t know the exact figure, but a few reports indicate that the team requires to deal with 60 Cr in financials.

Other sources suggest the total exceeds 80 Cr, including Akhanda 2 and past financial issues.

All these things need to be sorted for the film to see a smooth theatrical release. Today an update is expected to be made on the film’s theatrical release.

Akhanda 2 Troubles Easing

Akhanda 2 Some positive developments: the Hyderabad legal issues are said to be getting sorted out. A few big distributors are taking responsibility for the financiers, and at the same time, Balakrishna and Boyapati are offering major relief by sacrificing a portion of their remuneration. With this, the Hyderabad financiers’ issues are moving towards a solution.

However, one legal issue is still in court regarding EROS’ pending dues from older amounts.The producers are trying to settle this issue out of court as well. EROS is said to be serious this time, as the producers had committed multiple times to clear the dues in previous years but continuously failed to pay. Now, EROS is demanding that 50% be paid immediately and the remaining be cleared through cheques.

If all these issues are sorted, the postponement may not be too long. If the problems are resolved today and the film releases tomorrow, the impact may not be significant. But if the delay continues, the movie could face some effect. Hopefully, everything moves in a positive direction for the film.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: First Finalist Confirmed

Like in all seasons, in the 13th week of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu, the most important task, ticket to the finale has been placed. Whoever wins this task he or she will directly move to the finale week without facing the nominations for the 14th week.

This week in Bigg Boss 9 Telugu, the ticket to the finale task happened, with everyone participating in the task. Rithu and Kalyan have reportedly gone for the final battle, where Kalyan won and became the first finalist of this season.

Definitely Kalyan, even without this also can enter into the finale week as he is leading in votes. If Rithu had won the task, it could have been an advantage as she is in the danger zone with standing in the bottom 3rd place of voting. She missed a chance by just one step.

The viewers are excited to see who will be the final winner of the 9th season of Bigg Boss Telugu.

Box Office Advantage for Andhra King Taluka

Ram Pothineni, with a lot of confidence, promoted his recent release, Andhra King Taluka, aggressively, but the film did not do well at the box office despite getting a good response. Now, as Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2, which was scheduled to be released on December 5, has been postponed, it has paved the way for a small advantage for Andhra King Taluka. 

As said above, even though the film, AKT, received unanimous positive reviews, it did not translate into box office collections. Producer and hero Ram directly expressed that one of the main reasons is the Akhanda 2 release. 

Now with the Akhanda 2 release’ postponement, Andhra King Taluka gets an advantage for the 2nd weekend. The buyers are at just 50% recovery till now. If the 2nd weekend scores big, then buyers will see some good recoveries. The team also needs to do some aggressive promotions this weekend. If even with this advantage, the movie fails to bring audiences, then it will definitely be a shocker.

Akhanda 2 Premiere Pricing Backfires

Akhanda 2 Premiere Pricing Backfires

Till December 4th morning, the fans, trade, and other audiences were waiting for the ticket bookings of Akhanda 2 movie’s premieres to open, but in the evening, the proceedings took a rapid/shocking turn, and the movie has now been postponed. The makers’ going for huge ticket rates for premieres hugely backfired for Akhanda 2. 

The main reason for the film, Akhanda sequel’s financial hurdles, is that distributors did not pay the committed amounts. The real reason behind their half payment is, they believed that because the film is a sequel, it would release with massive craze.

However, somehow the craze around Akhand Part 2 did not rise organically because the promotional content was not properly planned. As a result, there emerged a huge delay in advance bookings in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for ticket hikes and a flat rate for premieres. 

In Andhra Pradesh, the bookings opened after the GO, but the ticket sales did not happen as expected. The big ticket rate of Rs 600 for Akhanda 2 Premieres heavily backfired, seeing very low ticket sales, and the distributors did not pay the committed amounts before.

Had Akhanda 2 been released with regular prices or reasonable hikes in Andhra and Telangana, no hike would have been needed for that business, and the bookings could have opened last Sunday itself; then the situation could have been better. 

The 600-premieres ticket price impacted the premieres and day 1 bookings, resulting in the movie being postponed. There are reports that the movie will arrive in theaters soon, but it needs to be seen once the team announces a new date. But definitely, the team needs to learn a lesson and should be careful about pricing.

Exclusive – Akhanda 2 New Release Date

Akhanda 2’s postponement is confirmed now, with all overseas shows cancelled and Indian shows also being removed from the weekend listings. The producers have also confirmed that the movie is postponed.

Many expected the delay to be just one or two days after Akhanda 2’s postponement, but Track Tollywood has exclusively learned that the release has been pushed by two to three weeks. The team is considering 18th December or 25th December as the new release date. An official announcement is expected very soon.

As the financial issues are significant, the team wants to resolve everything and release the film without any hurdles this time. This is the reason behind taking this gap. Both 18th December and 25th December are good dates with big releases from Telugu cinema lined up. The only concern is that Avatar 3 is also releasing around that time, which may impact the number of available screens and shows.

Akhanda 2 Postponed

Akhanda 2 premiere shows were supposed to happen now as planned. In the morning, there was an issue with the Telangana GOs regarding premiere shows. Once the Telangana GO was released, everyone expected the bookings to open. But then the real problem came out of industry circles, the movie is facing very big financial hurdles.

The financial amounts involved are not small. For Akhanda 2, the makers reportedly spent a massive budget, taking money from multiple financiers, but the clearances have not happened, which led to all these issues.

Several big names from the industry tried to resolve the matter, but the amount was so large that they were forced to step back. On the makers’ side, distributors did not pay the committed amounts required to clear the finances. Some distributors even paid only half of their agreed-upon amounts and are not ready to pay the full balance.

Because of this, the premieres were officially cancelled. The team initially stated that overseas premieres would still happen and that India shows would begin tomorrow. But now the news is that overseas shows are also getting cancelled one by one.

The film now has high chances of postponement unless a miracle happens. We need to see what date the team chooses if the finances are not cleared today, and how the situation is finally resolved.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Week 13: This Contestant Likely to Be Eliminated

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is now in its 13th week, with just one more week left for the grand finale. A total of 8 contestants are in the house now, and the name of the contestant who will be eliminated has been revealed.

Normally, 5 contestants will enter the finale week of this popular reality game show. So, it means that 3 contestants need to be eliminated in the next 2 weeks. It needs to be seen whether this week will have a double elimination or a single elimination.

For the 13th week of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu, Tanuja, Pavan, Suman, Bharani, Sanjana, and Ritu were nominated for eviction. Suman is said to be getting the fewest votes and is likely to be eliminated this week. 

If there is a double elimination, then Sanjana and Rithu are in danger of getting eliminated, as they are getting the next least votes after Suman. Tanuja is leading the votes by a big margin, followed by Pavan and Bharani, according to the sources.

Akhanda 2: No Premieres, Release in Serious Trouble

Akhanda 2, the biggest project of Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s career, is scheduled to release tomorrow with premieres tonight, but in a shocking turn of events, the producers have cancelled the premieres, and the film’s release also looks in trouble.

Suddenly, several financial hurdles hit the film right before the release, and with that, the makers had no other option but to cancel the premiere shows planned for tonight.

The film was made on a large scale and budget, and it was sold for massive prices. But the reports suggest that a total of ten distributors did not pay the full amount, which also brought some old financial issues to the stage. According to industry circles, the makers need to clear 60 Cr+ in financials to release the film.

Balakrishna’s fans are worried as Akhanda 2 meets a shocking development, and it needs to be seen whether the makers can solve the issue by today and release the film tomorrow. But practically, this is a tough task, and there is a big chance of the movie getting postponed entirely.
