Balakrishna Shatters Records: ‘Akhanda2 – Thaandavam’ Soars Past ₹100-Crore Mark in Pre-Release Business

Nandamuri Balakrishna has achieved a remarkable new milestone, proving his incredible box office strength yet again. His upcoming film Akhanda2 – Thaandavam has recorded a massive ₹114.25 crore worldwide pre-release business, marking the highest pre-release deal of his career and the first time a Balakrishna film has crossed the ₹100-crore benchmark even before release.

The film’s numbers reflect a sharp rise of nearly ₹34 crore from his previous highest, demonstrating Balayya’s rapidly growing market value and the renewed confidence of distributors and exhibitors. Over the past few years, the actor’s commercial graph has witnessed a powerful resurgence following the success of films like Daaku Maharaaj (₹80.70 crore), Veera Simha Reddy (₹73 crore), and Bhagavanth Kesari (₹67.35 crore).

The transformation is striking for an actor who once faced a string of setbacks. Today, Balakrishna stands as one of Tollywood’s most reliable mass performers with consistently strong numbers and widespread fan frenzy. Trade circles maintain that the extraordinary pre-release business of Akhanda2 reflects huge expectations, predicting an explosive opening at the box office.

With the ₹100-crore milestone already secured, industry attention now shifts to theatrical performance, where expectations are sky-high. If the current buzz translates into collections, Akhanda2 – Thaandavam could emerge as one of the biggest blockbusters of Balakrishna’s career.
