Story highlights
Finally, the wait is over. The makers have released the trailer of Akhanda 2: Thaandavam starring Nandamuri Balakrishna. Set to release next month, it is directed by Boyapati Sreenu. Read on to know more.
The trailer of the much-anticipated Akhanda 2: Thaandavam is finally out, and fans can’t get over it. Starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Srinu, it has heightened the audience’s expectations. The trailer of the sequel has confirmed that the Balayya–Boyapati combo is gearing up for yet another mass-action storm.
It was released at an event in Karnataka, and the trailer went viral in no time. Along with the film’s two chart-topping singles, fans are assured that the “mass god” is back.
It begins with an intense border conflict and transitions into a series of power-packed action sequences featuring Balakrishna. Besides hinting at an external threat to India, another pivotal track appears to be a sinister plot targeting the Kumbh Mela. “We must make them believe that God will not arrive when difficulties arise. The day they believe that, this country will go to pieces,” the voiceover in the trailer says.
Aadhi Pinisetty’s features as a tantric villain and scenes of black magic setup are also shown. Loaded with supernatural elements, divine rage, and national-security stakes, it appears to be a mass spectacle.
Balakrishna in three avatars
What caught the attention of the fans in the trailer is Balakrishna’s triple look. From spiritual attire to full-fledged mass mayhem, he wins hearts in every transformation. Additionally, S Thaman delivers a thunderous background score, elevating ritualistic sequences and Boyapati’s action-heavy storytelling. Reportedly, the film also appears to feature an operation similar to a surgical strike.
