Confirmation soon for Tamil release of Balakrishna-starrer ‘Akhanda’

0

A report has said that the Tamil-dubbed version of “Akhanda” is all set to hit the screens this Friday in Tamil Nadu.

Starring popular Telugu actor Balakrishna in the lead role, directed by Boyapati Srinu, “Akhanda” has been streaming in Telugu on Disney+Hotstar.

Even though “Akhanda” is available on OTT, the movie is planned to be released in theatres in order to capitalise on the existing buzz.

While there is an ambiguity about the dubbed version’s release, it is even said that the movie’s Telugu version will be released in Tamil Nadu.

The makers are yet to clarify the same.

There are no straight Tamil films coming out this week due to the pandemic, so Tamil Nadu distributors have shown interest in the movie “Akhanda”, which can be called a blockbuster hit in Telugu.

There is a possibility that the movie will be dubbed into other languages soon after the Tamil release.

Pragya Jaiswal appears as the heroine in the mass entertainer, while Srikanth and other actors are in significant roles.

Balakrishna’s dynamic role in the movie is lauded by the Telugu audience, while SS Thaman’s music still stays as one of the biggest highlights about “Akhanda”.

Balakrishna’s ‘Akhanda’ completes 50 days in theatres successfully

1

Director Boyapati Sreenu’s ‘Akhanda’, featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead, has successfully completed a 50-day run in theatres.

Sources close to the unit claimed that the film had accomplished the feat in 103 centres. ‘Akhanda’, which has been made on a budget believed to be the highest ever for a Balakrishna film, has done a roaring business of Rs 200 crore. This includes theatrical gross and non-theatrical revenues.

Director Boyapati Sreenu and Balakrishna’s combination is proving to be a formidable one as this is the third consecutive blockbuster that the two have managed to deliver together, the other two blockbusters being ‘Simhaa’ and ‘Legend’.

The makers claim that ‘Akhanda’ has provided huge profits to not just the producer but all the distributors as well. The film has been doing exceptionally well overseas too. It recently touched the million-dollar-mark in the US.

‘Akhanda’, which has Pragya Jaiswal playing the female lead, features Srikanth as the antagonist and Jagapathi Babu in a vital role. It has music by Thaman and cinematography by C Ram Prasad.

Is this why Balayya Babu visited Karamchedu instead of Kuppam?

0

Ask anyone in the film and political circles, where does Nandamuri Balakrishna spend his Sankranthi? Pat comes the reply: in Kuppam’s Naravaripalle along with Chandrababu Naidu and his family. This has been the wont of Balayya Babu for years. But, this time around, BalayyaBabu was in Karamchedu to celebrate the festivities with his other brother-in-law Daggubati Venkateswara Rao and sister Daggubati Purandeswari

Now political watchers are trying to dig out some purpose to this visit to Karamchedu. Why did Balayya go to Karamchedu? Is there a political angle to it? It may be recalled that both Chandrababu and Daggubati Venkateswara Rao met at a family function after a gap of 25 years. They spoke warmly to each other and there were guestimates that the two could come together one more time. But, the rumors died a natural death and everything is normal since then.

Now the buzz is that Balayya Babu is playing the mediator to bring both the “bavas” together. Especially after Nara Bhuvaneswari’s name was unnecessarily dragged into a wholly nasty controversy, the NTR family feels that the family should put on a united front.

Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, who was last in the YSRCP, is politically inactive. Purandeswari is in the BJP. But, both want their son to shine in politics. Last time, their son almost got the YSRCP ticket, but citizenship issues forced him to back off. Now Balayya Babu, who wants the NTR family to stay united, is said to be busy patching up things. This could be the reason for his Sankranthi visit to Karamchedu, say sources.
