Nandamuri Balakrishna's much-awaited film Akhanda 2: Thaandavam has faced another setback, just a day before its release. The makers of the film announced that the premiere shows of the Boyapeti Sreenu directorial in India that had been scheduled for Thursday had been cancelled due to technical issues.

Taking to their X (formerly Twitter) account, 14 Reels Plus, the production house that has produced the film, wrote, "Akhanda2 Premieres in India scheduled for today are cancelled due to technical issues. We've tried our best, but a few things are beyond our control. Sorry for the inconvenience. The overseas premieres will play as per the schedule today."

The film has garnered huge expectations from the audience. The film was recently cleared by the Censor Board for release with a U/A certificate. After completing its censor formalities, Akhanda 2 had been cleared for release with a run time of 166 minutes (2 hours and 44 minutes). Despite the setback at the premiere shows, the film is scheduled to hit screens on December 5, 2025.

About Akhanda 2: Thaandavam

Produced on an ambitious scale by Raam Achanta and Gopichand Achanta under the 14 Reels Plus banner, the project is being presented by M Tejaswini Nandamuri. The sequel, sources claim, will be a grand cinematic spectacle, with Boyapati Sreenu crafting a larger-than-life narrative on an even more expansive canvas.

S Thaman's rousing background score is expected to elevate the film's high-voltage scenes, delivering the signature adrenaline rush fans anticipate. Balakrishna's fierce and spiritually charged avatar has already impressed fans, masses, and movie buffs alike.

The film features Samyuktha as the female lead, with Aadhi Pinisetty playing a powerful role, and Harshali Malhotra a key character. C. Ramprasad and Santoshh D Detakae are the cinematographers who have worked on the film, with Tammiraju being in charge of editing.

A teaser released by the makers a few days ago shows the country's enemies conspiring to strike at India's roots. The teaser then shows Balakrishna, who is dressed as a sadhu, saying, "Where there is a bad, parallely, there is a God! Be brave." in his typical inimitable style.

It reinforces what the trailer showcased, that Balakrishna has a divine force operating from within him and that he takes on powerful black magic sorcerers aiding India's enemies. The teaser him gives a glimpse of the exciting action sequences awaiting audiences in the film.

It is evident from the teaser that Balakrishna's character will take on both the country's enemies and the ungodly forces looking to disrupt the peace and harmony in the nation in Akhanda 2: Thaandavam.
