The much anticipated Balakrishna starrer Akhanda 2-Thaandavam was slated to release today, but the team halted the release due to unforeseen issues, leaving fans disappointed. After the postponement, several theories began circulating about the reason behind the delay. Tollywood producer Suresh Babu has now responded to the release delay.

During the press meet of Psych Siddhartha, which he is presenting, Suresh Babu clarified that the issue is tied to financial matters and not something to be discussed in public. “Unfortunately, the business part is going too much to the street,” he said.

He elaborated further. “Everyone is saying ‘this is the problem,’ ‘this much money,’ and so on. Why all this? The audience just needs to watch the film. That’s it. Why get into these details? Financial issues exist. They existed even during the lab era. If you plan things earlier, they get sorted out. We hope the issues are resolved soon.”

The producer confirmed that financial hurdles alone caused the delay. The team is now waiting for an official update from the 14 Reels Plus banner, as they are in the process of settling matters with Eros International.
