Tollywood is abuzz with speculation about the fate of Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s blockbuster Bimbisara sequel. The first film, directed by Vassistha, was a massive hit and marked a major comeback for Kalyan Ram. Naturally, fans were excited when Bimbisara 2 was announced.

But over three and a half years later, there’s still no word on pre-production, casting, or even an official update from the team. This prolonged silence has sparked rumors that the sequel might be on hold—or worse, just a hype announcement.

Adding to the uncertainty, Kalyan Ram, after facing setbacks with films like Devil and Arjun S/O Jayanthi, is reportedly planning a new collaboration with director Srikanth, who worked as a writer on Pushpa. If this new project kicks off soon, Bimbisara 2 could be delayed even further.

For now, fans are left wondering whether the sequel will ever take off or if the makers are waiting for the perfect time. It seems Kalyan Ram may need another strong hit before taking on a big-budget follow-up.
