Boyapati Srinu’s Akhanda 2, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in dual roles, faced a last-minute postponement just hours before its scheduled release on December 5. The film’s premieres on December 4 were also cancelled at the eleventh hour, leaving fans disappointed after long journeys to catch the movie.
Tirrupur Subramanian, chairman of Sri Sakthi Cinemas in Tamil Nadu, provided an update regarding the ₹28 crore court case affecting the release. In a voice note shared on X (formerly Twitter), Subramanian said, “Dear friends, greetings to all. I am Tiruppur Subramanian speaking. The makers and hero are doing their best to ensure the release of Akhanda 2. They have been preparing and doing everything to ensure it releases.”
He further added that the court case between Eros and 14 Reels was scheduled for the morning of December 5 and expressed optimism that the matter would be resolved quickly: “Today at 10 AM, there’s a court case. I’m hoping that 99% the issue will be sorted. After that, the film will be released because they’re working hard for it. We will know the status by noon or evening, so please plan accordingly.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the new release date, as theatres and the production team work to resolve the legal hurdle and bring the film to screens.
