Akhanda 2, the much-awaited sequel starring Balakrishna, was released on December 12th and received below-par reviews. If we go back a few months, NTR’s War 2, which was also a sequel, received a negative response from everyone. It looks like the sequels are not working for the Nandamuri stars.
NTR, from Temper (2015) to Devara, delivered continuous successes without a single flop. War 2, the sequel to War, was expected to take him to the next level; however, the film turned out to be a career-defining failure, ending his long hit streak.
Balakrishna, from Akhanda (2021) to Daaku Maharaaj, also enjoyed continuous successes without any flops. Akhanda 2, the sequel to Akhanda, was released on December 12th and is heading towards failure, bringing an end to his successful streak.
Sentiments have always been present in the industry, and based on current trends, sequels are not performing well for the Nandamuri stars.
