Akhanda 2 plot and cast

Akhanda 2: Thaandavam is the sequel to Balakrishna's 2021 blockbuster film, Akhanda. The film stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role, reprising his character 'Akhanda'. A fierce protector who battles evil by honing divine powers. The sequel raises the stakes with the introduction of a new antagonist, played by Aadhi Pinisetty, who possesses supernatural abilities. 

The sequel is rich in mythological elements. The trailer had promised a grand duel between 'Akahnda' and Aadhi's mythical villain. Akhanda 2 is an interesting blend of fantasy, tradition, and high-voltage action. Along with Nandamuri Balakrishna, Akhanda 2 also stars Samyuktha Menon, Aadhi Pinisetty, and Harshaali Malhotra. The film marks Harshaali's debut in the Telugu film industry, her second after Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in which she made her debut as a child actor.

Akhanda 2's box office collection and row

According to industry tracker, Sacnilk, Akhanda 2 earned a net total of Rs. 94.45 crore at the Indian box office. The major chunk of these earnings came from the Telugu version. It also had a decent overseas run, grossing Rs. 123.8 crore worldwide. While the film could not match the fan wave of Akhanda, it did earn a place among the top 10 Telugu grossers of 2025. Fans believe the film could not match the wave of the prequel due to the legal issue that led to its postponement.

According to reports, Nandamuri Balakrishna's action-adventure movie was postponed after the Madras High Court ordered a stay on its screening following an appeal filed by Eros International Media Ltd. A day before the film release, reports emerged that Eros had filed an appeal regarding its long-standing arbitral award against 14 Reels Entertainment Private Limited, under which Eros is the award holder of a money decree of approximately Rs. 28 crore. After the production house paid the outstanding amount, the film was released on December 11, 2025.
