Balayya's "Akhanda 2" to hail temples, religious practices

When asked about the film set to be loaded with Hinduism rhetoric, will the big-budget movie be released in Hindi? Thanks to the PM Modi-led government, our film will expand its fan base and will be released in UP and other Hindi-speaking states since they like such path-breaking movies. “It was the first film for Balakrishna Garu to touch one million collections in the USA and it has set a few other records too,’. “It would be the costliest film for Balayya since it is a perfect sequel and would have few characters from the original, yet it would have its own identity and larger-than-life elements to enthrall Nandamuri fans the world over. Akhanda is one of few Telugu films that did well even in Tamil Nadu, “We got positive feedback from Tamil Nadu and would like to explore the market with the sequel as well,” he concludes.
