Balakrishna Bags Record-breaking Paycheck for Akhanda 2

Nandamuri Balakrishna is all set to roar again on the big screen with Akhanda 2, and the film is already making waves even before its release. According to the latest industry buzz, Balakrishna has been paid a staggering ₹45 crore, the highest-ever remuneration in his career.

Unprecedented buzz

The massive fee reflects the unprecedented craze surrounding the franchise and the star’s consistent box-office power. Directed by Boyapati Sreenu, Akhanda 2 is among the most anticipated sequels in Telugu cinema. Boyapati, who is known for designing powerful mass elevation sequences for Balakrishna, has reportedly charged ₹30 crore as his fee. The blockbuster combo, which previously delivered Simha, Legend, and the sensational Akhanda, is back after a gap, raising fan expectations through the roof.

Adding to the hype is music director Thaman S, who has once again taken charge of the soundtrack. His background score in the first film played a key role in elevating Balakrishna’s larger-than-life portrayal of the Aghora character. This time too, Thaman’s songs and theme music have already caught the attention of fans, trending heavily on social media and setting the stage for an electrifying theatrical experience. What’s more, Balakrishna is not only earning big through remuneration but is also expected to share in the profits of the film.

Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautams HAQ Screens to a Packed House and Applause at IFFI 2025

Junglee Pictures’ Haq was officially screened at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa. Director Suparn S Varma & Writer Reshu Nath offered glimpses from the packed auditorium, and it shows that the film’s ideological ambition has struck a chord with the audiences. Yami, too, shared a video on Instagram’s story section that shows a packed auditorium and people clapping as the credits rolled.
Take a look at it:
HAQ
Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Dhar deliver two of their most layered performances to date. As Abbas Khan and Shazia Bano, they have earned immense appreciation not just for their nuanced portrayals but also for taking on one of the boldest on-screen narratives in recent times. As the film revolves around bold concepts of religion, law and rights, backed by impactful performances by the cast, the film received an incredible response by the deeply moved audience.
Haq also features debutant Vartika Singh in a key role, along with powerhouse performers Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady.
HAQ
Filmfare gave the film a rating of 4.5 in their review and wrote, “Much of this impact works because the writing is sharp, intelligent and deeply internalised. Reshu Nath’s screenplay understands the emotional minefield of faith versus constitutional rights without turning the narrative into an academic lecture. She builds conflict through spaces of doubt, lived contradiction and internal bias, not just external provocation. And Suparn S Varma’s direction keeps the storytelling grounded and balanced. He refuses sensationalism, he resists easy villainy, and he allows silences to speak. His directorial hand ensures Haq is not a polemic, it is a lived human drama.”
Written by Reshu Nath, and produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, HAQ is currently running in theatres near you.
