Akhanda 2 faced major financial hurdles even before its release, and after hitting theaters, the film opened to below-par word of mouth and poor reviews. As a result, it failed to perform at the expected business level. Now, the question is, who will take the responsibility for the compensation for Akhanda 2 buyers?
Most buyers have managed to recover only about 50% of their investment, and with the film’s run likely ending this weekend, even a small jump in collections would push recoveries to just 60% or less.
This situation has raised serious concerns among Akhanda 2 buyers about who will compensate for the losses. The producers are already in deep financial trouble and are unable to offer any compensation. Director Boyapati Srinu and hero Balakrishna had already sacrificed part of their remuneration before the release to help clear the producers’ finances.
Despite these efforts, buyers are said to be extremely worried as they are facing huge losses, and no one is stepping forward to cover them. This episode serves as another hard lesson for buyers and distributors. When investing big money, they must carefully consider the producer’s position and the long-term prospects of upcoming films before committing.
