మయన్మార్ ఎయిర్ పోర్టులో చతికిలపడిపోయిన ప్రయాణికులు

There’s no slowing down Nandamuri Balakrishna, whose stardom continues to rise with each film. His much-anticipated project, ‘Akhanda 2’, is currently being made on a staggering budget of ₹200 crore — the biggest of his career so far.

Industry insiders reveal that the production is on a grand scale, with shooting already completed at visually stunning locations such as the Himalayas and the Maha Kumbh Mela, along with massive, specially constructed sets. A crucial upcoming schedule in Nepal, where Balakrishna will film for a week, is expected to feature thousands of high-end VFX shots, further driving up the film’s production value.

Following the ₹130 crore budget of his previous release, Daaku Maharaaj, this new venture sets the bar even higher. With Akhanda 2, the producers are pulling out all the stops to deliver a visually rich and emotionally powerful cinematic experience.

What makes Akhanda 2 particularly special is its strong push to be a true pan-India film. The team is carefully tailoring scenes and dialogues to connect with Hindi-speaking audiences, aiming for a massive release across the country. With its deep-rooted themes centered around Hindu culture and spirituality, the film aspires to resonate far beyond the Telugu-speaking audience.

Balakrishna’s Aghora avatar, which became iconic in the first installment, will return with even more intensity, promising a powerful screen presence that blends mysticism and mass appeal.

Having already won over audiences in the Telugu states and among the global Telugu diaspora, Balakrishna is now setting his sights on the North Indian market.

“This is Balakrishna’s most genuine pan-India attempt yet. With its universal appeal, spiritual themes, and his commanding performance, Akhanda 2 is poised to make a nationwide impact,” a source close to the production shared.

With such scale, vision, and ambition, Akhanda 2 is shaping up to be a landmark film in Balakrishna’s illustrious career.
