🔍 Why Balakrishna Akhanda 2 Postponed Was Really ?
Multiple media reports confirm the main reason is a legal and financial dispute.
High Court Stay on Release
According to reports from TOI and Hindustan Times:
- A court order from the Madras High Court temporarily stopped the theatrical release.
- The issue is linked to an old ₹28 crore arbitration dispute between 14 Reels and Eros International.
- Eros claimed that releasing Akhanda 2 without clearing dues might let the makers escape payment.
Until this case clears, the film cannot be legally released in theatres, OTT, or satellite.
Why the Premiere Shows Were Cancelled First
The team originally said “technical issues,” but after the court order, it became clear the real problem was the legal halt, not post-production or censor issues.
New Release Date?
As of now:
- No new date is announced
- The team only promised a “positive update soon”
Realistically, the movie will release only after the legal dispute is settled.
