Big Night for Akhanda 2, Boyapati Now Needs a Mass Knockout

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 will finally have its first premiere shows in the next few hours.

The film has seen an unusual amount of drama, far more than what you would expect for a star hero like Balakrishna. But all of that will be forgotten the moment the first premiere show begins. What matters now is the output that Boyapati delivers.

Boyapati now carries the responsibility of giving a true mass divine high film that can fully use the buzz created by the postponement. For him, this is a massive opportunity. He has delivered strong hits with Balakrishna in the past, but a solid blockbuster here can seal his place as the one rock solid mass director among the current Telugu directors, someone who can deliver an ultra high dose of mass while still mixing in divine elements without making it routine.

This film is more important for Boyapati than for Balakrishna. And we will know the result in a few hours.

Telangana premiere bookings for tonight have just opened, and Friday advance bookings also look strong. The stage is set for Boyapati to seize the moment.
