The theatrical trailer of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 was launched grandly at an event in Karnataka. Sandalwood superstar and much-adored Shiva Rajkumar graced the function as the chief guest. During the event, Balakrishna made an honest revelation that is now winning hearts.
During Veera Simha Reddy, there were allegations that Balakrishna’s look was copied from Shiva Rajkumar’s superhit film Mufti. The Veera Simha Reddy team was trolled for the same, but now, during the Akhanda 2 event, Balayya openly admitted that he copied Shiva Rajkumar’s look since he felt it looked too good.

“For Veera Simha Reddy, I copied Shiva Rajkumar’s getup. Drawing inspiration from colleagues and co-actors is a very common practice in the industry. We need to learn things from others that we are not good at. We share the same wavelength,” stated Balakrishna.
