The anticipation surrounding Akhanda 2, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, has reached a new high as the team has reportedly applied for special premieres permission across the Telugu states. Adding to the excitement, the makers have proposed a flat ticket price of ₹600 for these premiere shows — a bold move that reflects the massive hype around the spiritual-action franchise.If granted, this pricing strategy would place Akhanda 2 among the few Telugu films to host high-value premiere screenings, aimed primarily at tapping into the fan frenzy and the unprecedented buzz the project has generated. With Balakrishna and Boyapati reuniting after the blockbuster success of Akhanda (2021), expectations for the sequel are sky-high among the audience.
The first film not only revived the theatrical environment during its release period but also created an iconic cultural moment with Balakrishna’s powerful portrayal of the Aghora character.Industry insiders reveal that the producers are confident about the film’s pull at the box office. The decision to seek permission for premium-priced premieres is seen as a strategic move to maximize initial revenue and offer fans an exclusive, celebratory experience. Theatres across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are expected to witness packed houses if approval is granted, given the star power and the loyal Nandamuri fanbase.
While the proposed ₹600 ticket price has sparked debate among moviegoers, a large section of fans believes that Balakrishna’s mass aura and the Boyapati-Balayya combination justify the premium. Special premieres have become increasingly common for big-ticket Telugu films, but Akhanda 2 is poised to set a new benchmark in terms of scale and demand.With production progressing at a brisk pace and promotional material expected soon, the film is already one of the most talked-about projects in Tollywood. The official confirmation from the government authorities regarding the premiere permissions and ticket pricing is awaited, but the buzz alone has set social media ablaze.
