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.

‘NBK111'announced: Balakrishna, Gopichand Malinenireunite for a historical action spectacle
Nata SimhamNandamuri Balakrishna is on a winning streak with back-to-back blockbusters, and now, he's all set to raise the bar even higher with his next venture, NBK111. The film was officially announced with a striking and symbolic poster that hints at a powerful and layered character for Balakrishna. Teaming up once again with director Gopichand Malineni, NBK111 marks a reunion of the successful duo who delivered a blockbuster earlier with Veera Simha Reddy. This time, the pair are venturing into new territory—a historical action extravaganza, promising grandeur and intensity in equal measure. The announcement poster has already created a storm among fans. Featuring a majestic lion with its face split between raw ferocity and battle-hardened armor, the visual metaphor reflects Balakrishna's upcoming character—one that balances primal rage with unshakable resilience. It hints at a tale of valour, vengeance, and legacy, setting high expectations for what's to come. Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas, the film is set to be mounted on a grand scale, ensuring top-tier production values and technical finesse. While Balakrishna is no stranger to historical roles, NBK111 will mark director Gopichand Malineni's first foray into the genre, making it an ambitious leap in his directorial journey. The film will go on floors once Balakrishna wraps up Akhanda 2: Thandavam, which is currently in production with BoyapatiSreenu. With such a formidable team and an exciting genre twist, NBK111 is poised to be another roaring success in Balakrishna's blockbuster arsenal.
