interest
around
the

Akhanda
2
was
initially
slated
for
release
on
December
5,
2025.
However,
the
premiere
was
delayed
following
a
legal
stay
issued
by
the
Madras
High
Court.
The
order
came
after
Eros
International
filed
a
petition
against
14
Reels
Plus
Entertainment
over
an
unresolved
financial
dispute.
The
matter
has
since
been
cleared,
allowing
the
film
to
proceed
with
its
theatrical
release
on
December
12.
The
premiere
screenings
mark
the
first
opportunity
for
audiences
to
experience
the
film
in
cinemas,
and
social
media
activity
suggests
a
high
level
of
engagement.
While
detailed
critical
reviews
are
yet
to
emerge,
the
posts
from
early
viewers
are
already
shaping
the
initial
perception
of
Akhanda
2.
As
the
film
prepares
for
its
worldwide
release
on
December
12,
theaters
across
India
and
overseas
are
expected
to
see
significant
turnout,
particularly
given
the
anticipation
surrounding
Nandamuri
Balakrishna’s
return
and
the
continuation
of
the
story
established
in
the
2021
original.
