Nandamuri Balakrishna’s “Akhanda 2: Thaandavam,” Boyapati Sreenu’s fourth film with him, released on December 12, 2025, after legal delays. While it pleased fans, it underperformed at the box office. Reports now suggest Netflix will premiere it on January 9, 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, and other languages, marking a quick four-week theatrical-to-OTT transition.
