Already, the film features Aadhi Pinisetty as the main villain, and now, Sanjay Dutt’s addition has further heightened expectations.

Thaman is composing the music for the film, which features Balakrishna in a double role. Akhanda was a mass entertainer, and the makers cleverly kept an open-ended climax to allow room for a sequel. Now, Boyapati Sreenu is leaving no stone unturned to make Akhanda 2 a blockbuster.
The film is set to hit the screens during the prestigious Dussehra festival in October 2025, and grand promotional plans are already in motion. To date, Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu have collaborated on three films, all of which have turned out to be massive hits.
This time, the budget and pre-release business of the film have been record-breaking, thanks to Balakrishna’s recent box-office streak. Now that Sanjay Dutt has joined the cast, expectations have skyrocketed, making Akhanda 2 one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
