Premiere shows scheduled for December 4 were cancelled. Many fans who had booked tickets were left shocked and disappointed.
Akhanda 2 Postponed: What Happened?
The much-awaited film Akhanda 2 — starring Nandamuri Balakrishna — has been postponed just hours before its scheduled release on December 5, 2025. The production house 14 Reels Plus announced that due to “unavoidable circumstances,” the film will not hit theatres as planned.
Why Was Akhanda 2 Delayed? Legal & Financial Trouble
Court Order Blocks the Release
The delay stems from a legal dispute involving 14 Reels Plus and Eros International Media Limited. The latter filed a petition in court claiming dues of approximately â‚ą28 crore (plus interest) from the earlier business dealings with 14 Reels. A Division Bench of the Madras High Court granted an injunction, barring the release of Akhanda 2 until dues are cleared.
This legal roadblock has halted the distribution, theatrical release, streaming, and all forms of public exhibition of the film.
What This Means for Fans & Theatres
- All advance ticket bookings have been suspended or frozen. Many fans are now seeking refunds or waiting for show-reschedule announcements.
- The sudden postponement means theatres that had planned screenings need to adjust schedules — likely leading to logistical challenges for cinemas and distributors.
- Overseas distribution and international premieres are also on hold because the court order blocks all release formats.
- Fans of Balakrishna and action-drama lovers will now await clarity on when "Akhanda 2" will finally release.
Background: Earlier Delays and Hopes
Originally, “Akhanda 2” was supposed to release on September 25, 2025. But back then the makers postponed the film citing the need for more time for VFX, re-recording and post-production work — promising a December release instead.
The December 5 date had renewed fans’ excitement, as the film promised to deliver high-voltage action and drama. However, this legal hurdle has now thrown those plans off track.

What’s Next: Will Akhanda 2 Release Again?
At present, there is no new release date announced by the production house. 14 Reels Plus has only said they are “working tirelessly” towards a resolution.
For the film to release again, either the dues to Eros International must be cleared — or a court ruling should allow the film temporarily pending settlement. Until then, “Akhanda 2” remains postponed indefinitely.
