About Akhanda 2
Akhanda 2 – Thaandavam is an action drama directed and co-written by Boyapati Sreenu. The movie stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role as an Aghora who uses his divine powers to battle evil and protect the world.
The film is a sequel to Balakrishna’s 2021 blockbuster Akhanda and features Samyuktha and Aadhi Pinisetty in key roles.
In the original Akhanda, NBK played dual roles, including that of Murali Krishna, a farmer who opposes a corrupt copper mining company. When he clashes with the villain boss and a fake Aghora, the story takes a divine turn as his twin brother Akhanda, a powerful real Aghora, returns to fight injustice.
While the flick was a massive box-office success, it received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
