Akhanda 2 to release a week after delay
Sharing a new poster of the film, the makers wrote in the caption: “All set for the Divine Destruction at the box office 🔥

About the postponement
Last Thursday, the makers shocked fans hours before release and revealed that the film will not release as per schedule. Taking to their X account, distributor 14 Reels Plus apologised to fans but gave specific reasons for the postponement. The post began, “We’ve tried our absolute best to bring #Akhanda2 to the big screens, but despite our tireless efforts, sometimes, the most unexpected things happen, and unfortunately, this is that time. We sincerely apologize to all the fans and cinema lovers across the world who have been eagerly waiting for the film with so much anticipation.”
It went on to add, “We are forever grateful to our dearest ‘God of Masses’ #NandamuriBalakrishna Garu and #BoyapatiSreenu Garu for standing by us during this challenging moment. AKHANDA-2 WILL HIT THE BULLSEYE WHENEVER IT ARRIVES…COMING VERY SOON WITH A NEW DATE.”
Even as the makers did not reveal the reason for the postponement, an ongoing court case might be the issue here. Eros International Media Limited approached the Madras High Court regarding the pending arbitration money that 14 Reels Entertainment Private Limited has owed them for 11 years, amounting to ₹28 crore plus interest. It is believed that the clearance was given a day ago.
