Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 has generated significant hype among audiences, and the makers also have high hopes for its Hindi version, which appears to be facing pressure due to Ranveer Singh’s film, Dhurandhar, which is also being released on the same day.

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which is releasing on 5th December, has created massive anticipation after the trailer release, and Akhanda 2 has to face it, and it needs to hit it out of the park to bring Hindi audiences to theaters. 

The team is expecting very good numbers in the Hindi markets, but if Dhurandhar gets positive talk, then certainly it will affect the collections of the Akhanda sequel in Hindi markets.

Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, who previously made Uri: The Surgical Strike. It has a star-studded cast that includes Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Ranveer Singh. Jio Studios is presenting the film, which is set to release on December 5.

0

Suriya is working with Telugu director Venky Atluri, planning a Summer 2026 release, and he’s also about to team up with another Telugu director for a new film. This will be super happy news for the Telugu fans of the actor.

Suriya’s 46th film, a family entertainer directed by Venky Atluri and produced by Sitara Entertainments, is slated for a Summer 2026 release. The Soorarai Pottru actor has also signed a film with Malayalam director Jithu Madhavan.

Now Suriya is said to be in final talks with another Telugu director, Vivek Athreya, for a new film. Vivek’s recent film Saripodha Sanivaaram with Nani proved he is capable of delivering a mass commercial film.

There was some buzz a few days ago that Vivek Athreya was in talks with superstar Rajinikanth, but that didn’t come to fruition. Now, the word is that the project is moving forward with Suriya, under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.

In recent days, Vijay, Rajinikanth, and Ajith are reportedly asking for very high remuneration, and Vijay is also stepping away from films. Consequently, Suriya has emerged as a reliable choice for Telugu producers looking to create Tamil-Telugu bilingual films.

That’s why multiple Telugu producers are currently in talks with the actor for new films.
