What was the reason for the delay?
Initially, Akhanda 2 was planned to release on December 5, but it was cancelled just a day before its premiere because of a financial dispute. As per reports, the legal matter involving 14 Reels Plus and Eros International came up from an arbitration case, which was worth around ₹28 crore. It is said that the studio had no other option but to postpone the film suddenly.
As per Deccan Chronicle, Balakrishna himself stepped in to stabilize the situation. He voluntarily adjusted ₹20 crore from his remuneration (nearly 17% of his fee) to sort the pending dues.
