After Akhanda 2 came to a grinding halt just a couple of days before its scheduled release (on December 5), things have turned havoc for the filmmakers. While the producers got entangled in an earlier legal arbitral, efforts were on ever since to revive the film’s release. According to reports, the producers have been holding discussions with various concerned parties.
It looks like the makers are clearing all the decks for Akhanda 2 release. According to reports, Madras High Court has given clearance for the film’s release after all the financial issues were cleared. The development has resulted in filmmakers now eyeing December 12 as the new release date. An official confirmation from the makers is expected to be out by Tuesday evening. Fans too are eagerly waiting for the confirmation. While Akhanda 2 is showing positive signs in terms of buzz domestically, overseas, the damage could be big as a result of the delay. Even though the Boyapati Srinu directorial isn’t getting a huge and a wide release (like earlier), still the makers exude confidence that the theatre footfalls may shoot up post release. The blockbuster combination of Balakrishna and Boyapati has a huge craze, and the trade (buyers of the film) is betting on the actor and director collaboration.
With the release date almost confirmed, all Akhanda 2 needs is positive talk at the box office from the premieres and release day reports. The budget reportedly shot up because the film was made lavishly. If the film has to recover the production cost and the buyers have to break even, a super hit talk is perhaps the need of the hour for Akhanda 2. In his recent interview, Balakrishna too clarified that the film demanded the budget, and that Boyapati made the film without compromising on the quality.
