Akhanda 2 poster out

Standing on one leg and holding a Trishul in a position depicting Lord Shiva, the poster shows Balayya in his whole dharmic-warrior form. In addition to retaining the aggressive Aghora character that was well-liked in the first instalment, the artwork conveys a feeling of gravity that alludes to the sequel's higher ambitions.  Also Read: Final Destination Bloodlines on OTT: When & where to watch horror film?

Thaman wrote the soundtrack and background score. Ram-Lakshman choreographs the action scenes, AS Prakash serves as the art director, and Tammiraju is the editor.
