OG and Akhanda 2 :
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about the possible release clash between two big Telugu movies – They Call Him OG starring Pawan Kalyan, and Akhanda 2 starring Balakrishna. However, it now seems that both films may not hit theatres on the same day.
If They Call Him OG releases as planned, it is expected to get a huge number of shows, especially in the Nizam area. In Hyderabad city alone, the film needs around 1500 shows to match the business it has done. Even in the worst-case scenario, OG will need at least 1200 shows in the city. This clearly limits the number of theatres available for other films on the same day.
Because of this, Akhanda 2 may not get more than 400 shows if both films release together. That would be a disadvantage for Balakrishna’s film, as it may not perform well without sufficient theatres and screens.
Apart from this, Akhanda 2 is currently facing delays in post-production work. The film has a lot of computer graphics (CG) and VFX scenes, and much of the work is still pending. Due to this, it is becoming difficult for the team to release the movie on the earlier planned date of September 25. So, chances of the movie arriving on that day are very low.
Considering all these factors, it is likely that the makers of Akhanda 2 will avoid a direct clash with OG. Instead, they may look for another date that gives their film a better chance at the box office.
Fans of both stars are eagerly waiting for the releases, and a gap between the two movies will help both films do well in theatres without affecting each other’s collections.
