Deputy CM KE Krishnamurthy Satirical Punch dialogue on CM Chandrababu

Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to electrify the box office this Dussehra with Akhanda 2: Tandavam, the much-anticipated sequel directed by Boyapati Srinu. Backed by producers Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta, with M Tejaswini presenting, the film reunites the blockbuster duo behind one of Tollywood’s biggest mass entertainers. Featuring Samyuktha Menon as the leading lady and notable performances from Aadi Pinisetty and Harshali Malhotra, the sequel promises a blend of fresh energy and high-octane drama.

The production team has officially locked September 25, 2025, as the release date. Balakrishna has completed dubbing for his dual roles, marking a major post-production milestone. With visual effects, re-recording, and technical refinements in progress, the makers are on track to finish all work by month’s end, paving the way for an aggressive promotional campaign.

Akhanda 2 continues the winning formula of spiritual themes interwoven with intense action sequences. Boyapati Srinu is reportedly elevating the spectacle with grander fight choreography and striking visuals, supported by cinematographers C. Ramprasad and Santosh Detake. Music composer Thaman S returns to deliver a powerful soundtrack that complements the film’s mass appeal.

Riding on the massive legacy of its predecessor, Akhanda 2 is already generating strong buzz in trade circles. With its potent mix of spiritual undertones, high-voltage action, and Balayya’s larger-than-life screen presence, the film is poised to be one of the year’s most talked-about festive blockbusters.
