Akhanda 2 Release Update:Netflix Reportedly Pushing for a Christmas Release

Following the sudden postponement of Nandamuri Balakrishna's highly anticipated film, Akhanda 2, fans were left disappointed by the indefinite delay. Now, in a new development, a report suggests that the film's streaming partner, Netflix, is pushing for a new, strategic release date.

The makers of the film, 14 Reels Plus, announced the delay just hours before its scheduled premiere. In a statement, they apologized to the fans, citing unexpected circumstances. We've tried our absolute best to bring Akhanda2 to the big screens, but despite our tireless efforts, sometimes, the most unexpected things happen, and unfortunately, this is that time,the production house stated.

It was later reported that the delay was due to legal and financial issues, which led to a stay on the film's release. Despite the setback, the makers concluded their statement with a powerful promise, assuring fans that the film will hit its mark whenever it arrives and that a new date is coming very soon.

While the delay was a disappointment, some pointed out a potential silver lining. The film's complete audio jukebox is already out, and the extra time could allow the music to become even more popular, potentially building more hype for the eventual release.

Now, a new report suggests a major development in the situation. According to sources, Netflix, the film's post-theatrical streaming partner, is reportedly pushing the makers for a December 25 release. The streaming giant is keen to capitalize on the Christmas and New Year's holiday period, which is a very lucrative time for both theatrical and OTT releases.

With OTT platforms now having a significant influence on the business of films, their preferences for release dates are often taken very seriously by producers. This new push from Netflix could be the key factor in determining when Akhanda 2 will finally hit the big screen, giving fans a new ray of hope for a holiday release.
