Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu's 'Akhanda 2: Tandavam' Set for Release on This Date
Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu's highly anticipated project 'Akhanda 2: Tandavam' is being made as a sequel to their blockbuster film 'Akhanda', coming four years after its release. Parts of the film have already been shot in Hyderabad, at the Kumbh Mela, and in the Himalayas. The next schedule of the shoot will take place in Georgia.
While the shooting is progressing at a brisk pace, a new rumor about the film's release date is going viral.
Originally, the makers had planned to release the film on September 25th as a Dussehra gift for fans. However, the team now feels that more time is required for post-production and CG work. Because of this, they are considering postponing the release to Sankranthi. Also, since Balakrishna's films released during Sankranthi have often been successful, the team sees it as a sentimental and strategic decision.
With the postponement of NTR and Prashanth Neel's film, which was also set for a Sankranthi release, to June, Balayya's team is planning to enter the Pongal race instead. However, an official confirmation on the new release date is still awaited.
Samyuktha Menon plays the female lead, while Aadhi Pinisetty has a key role. The film is being produced by Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta under the 14 Reels Plus banner and is presented by Tejaswini Nandamuri. Music is composed by Thaman. As this is the fourth collaboration between Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu, expectations are sky-high.

‘Knowing who you are is what matters the most': Balakrishna on lessons from life and legacy
What defines a life well lived — the career we choose or the detours we never take? At a gathering held to commemorate him turning 65, Nandamuri Balakrishna reflected on both — including a surprising story about almost becoming a doctor — and the unexpected turns that shaped the arc of his life. Recalling an episode from his youth, Balakrishna spoke about a surprising twist orchestrated by his father, the legendary NT Rama Rao. 'After I completed my intermediate studies, my father insisted I write the medical entrance exam . I got the hall ticket just 10 minutes before the exam and answered it randomly,' he said, amused by the memory. 'Later, he asked if I'd enrolled for MBBS, and I was taken aback. This was the same man who always introduced me by saying, 'This is Bala — he will become an actor.' Though medicine didn't happen, Balakrishna noted with a smile, 'I did end up playing a doctor in Simha.' Even after 50 years as a hero, Balakrishna isn't looking to exit the frame — and he makes no apologies for it. 'People think I'm rude or arrogant because I'm persistent. But I don't let that affect me,' he said, adding, 'There's nothing more important than knowing who you are. Self-love matters more than any external judgement.' He signed off saying, 'I don't believe in numbers. Our mind holds far more strength than we realise. If we train it right — along with the body — we can achieve anything.' TNN

(Also Read: Balakrishna roped in for a crucial role in Rajinikanth-Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2; everything we know) In a video shot during his birthday celebrations, Balakrishna is dressed in traditional clothes with a tilak on his forehead. As the people next to him urge him to cut the cake, he instead begins flipping the knife multiple times. At one point, one of the people standing next to him even leans back as the knife comes close to them. His security guard also seems to look around, wondering what to do. A post shared by Rollmediaofficial (@rollmediaofficial) Balakrishna's antics made people on the internet crack up, with many cracking jokes about him flipping knives. While some chalked it down to 'over acting over attitude' or 'weird behaviour', others thought the video was hilarious.

One called him 'God of Jokerness,' and another joked, 'Security guard confused how to protect balayya from balayya.' An Instagram user even wrote, 'Padmshree was never insulted this badly before.'
