Akhanda 2 Locks December 12 Theatrical Release After Court Clearance

The date was set after the Madras High Court cleared the film following settlement of a long‑running arbitral claim.

Overview

  • Makers 14 Reels Plus confirmed a worldwide opening on December 12 with paid premieres on December 11, with bookings rolling out.
  • The original December 5 launch was halted hours before release due to Eros International’s reported ₹28 crore claim against 14 Reels, which prompted a temporary restraint.
  • Authorities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana approved short-term ticket‑price increases and permitted paid premiere shows to bolster the rollout.
  • Promotions resumed with a new teaser, and US pre‑sales for the premieres reportedly crossed 7,200 tickets and about $125,000 within six hours.
  • The reshuffled calendar pushed smaller releases, with Mowgli moving to December 13 and Psych Siddhartha shifting to January 1.
