Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu, two of Tollywood’s most potent pairings, are reuniting again for the highly-awaited Akhanda 2. Having given blockbuster movies such as Simha, Legend, and the huge hit Akhanda, the talented duo is ready to recreate the magic on the silver screen. Of course, expectations are reaching new heights among fans and cinephiles.
The sequel of Akhanda is already on in full steam, with the shoot going full speed. With updates filtering in, a new rumor doing the rounds on social media is causing serious buzz — legendary actress Vijayashanti could be a part of the cast in a crucial role.
Reports suggest that Vijayashanti is being considered for a powerful political character in Akhanda 2. While there’s been no official announcement yet, the speculation alone has sparked a frenzy of excitement among fans. Having delivered multiple hits with Balakrishna in the past, Vijayashanti’s potential inclusion is being seen as a major boost for the film’s emotional and mass appeal.
Known for her commanding screen presence, Vijayashanti recently impressed audiences in Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi, sharing screen space with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. Her return in a character-rich role in Akhanda 2 could add yet another layer of depth and drama to the high-octane narrative.
Joining the cast alongside Balakrishna are actresses Pragya Jaiswal and Samyuktha Menon , who play important roles in the sequel. The movie is being produced on the illustrious 14 Reels Plus banner, with the music by the reliable Thaman S, who will hopefully produce another rousing score.
Scheduled to release on the big screens on September 25, 2025, Akhanda 2 is already one of the most anticipated releases in Telugu cinema. With its winning formula of strong performances, mass elements, and spiritual themes, fans are expecting this sequel to outdo the original in terms of impact as well as box office figures.
