New Delhi: A year after its Telugu release, producers Dr Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios and Sajid Qureshi now bring audiences the Hindi version of the action drama film, ‘Akhanda’, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Written and directed by Boyapati Srinu, the movie is a true feast for hard-core Balayya fans that weaves a historical story with mass moments. ‘Akhanda’ is high-voltage, whistle-worthy and a true-blue mass entertainer that grossed Rs 120.8 crore at the box office.
Starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in a dual role alongside Pragya Jaiswal, Jagapathi Babu, and Srikanth, ‘Akhanda’ emerged as the second highest-grossing Telugu film of 2021 and the highest-grossing film of Balakrishna’s career. The film which marks the third collaboration between Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu also premiered on OTT last year to become one of the most watched regional films on the platform.
Dr Gada said, “If the last year has taught us anything it’s that the audience is craving mass entertainers and visual spectacles that merit a theatre viewing. We believe ‘Akhanda’ is a film that will find takers in different language markets and has Pan-India appeal considering Nandamuri Balakrishna’s fanbase and the high-octane action and entertainment that the film delivers.”
The film will release in cinemas on January 20. (UNI)
