Nandamuri Balakrishna is all set to roar back to the big screen with Akhanda 2, which has officially locked its release for September 25th, coinciding with the Dussehra holiday season. Marking Balakrishna’s birthday celebrations, the team unveiled a powerful teaser that promises a high-voltage action drama.

Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the sequel seems to double down on the mass appeal that made the first part a blockbuster. The teaser opens with Balakrishna in a sage’s avatar, set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. Clad in a spiritual getup, he takes down goons armed with heavy artillery, all while delivering punchy dialogues that land with trademark intensity.

Unlike the first installment, where Balakrishna had multiple looks, the sequel appears to maintain a consistent sage persona throughout. This spiritual-mass combo is once again backed by S. Thaman, who amps up the teaser with a thundering background score, elevating the drama.

Amid speculation that Akhanda 2 might avoid clashing with Pawan Kalyan’s OG, the makers have put all rumors to rest. With both films now scheduled for the same release date — September 25th — Tollywood is bracing for a massive box-office showdown this Dussehra.
