Natasimha Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently busy with Akhanda 2 - Thandavam, directed by Boyapati Srinu. This film is being made as a sequel to the blockbuster Akhanda, and the shooting is progressing at a fast pace. Recent reports suggest that Bollywood heroine Vidya Balan will be playing a key role in the film, reportedly as a political leader. This will be her second collaboration with Balakrishna, after the NTR biopic.
The film's team recently completed a key schedule in Hyderabad and is now preparing to start shooting in the Himalayas. Director Boyapati Srinu and his team have been scouting for beautiful locations in the Himalayas to shoot some crucial scenes, including a huge fight sequence featuring Balakrishna's character Akhanda.
The film promises to be a pan-India extravaganza, with Balakrishna set to appear in two different roles. Samyuktha Menon and Pragya Jaiswal will also be seen in key roles, while Sanjay Dutt and Aadhi Pinisetty are reportedly playing roles with negative shades.
Akhanda 2 - Tandavam boasts an impressive cast and crew, with Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta jointly producing the film under the banner 14 Reels Plus. M. Tejaswini Nandamuri is presenting the film, which is set to hit the theaters on September 25 as a Dussehra gift. Thaman is composing the music for this highly anticipated film.
