Madras High Court Injunction Halts Akhanda 2 Release as Producers Delay Film Indefinitely

The order followed Eros International’s bid to enforce an arbitral award of about ₹28 crore plus interest against entities linked to the film’s producers.

Overview

  • The December 5 rollout was scrapped after paid premieres on December 4 were cancelled and ticketing in Telugu regions saw last‑minute disruptions.
  • The court restrained any theatrical, digital or satellite release until the dues are addressed or further orders are issued.
  • Production house 14 Reels Plus apologised and said it is working to resolve the issue, but no new release date has been announced.
  • Overseas screenings were also hit, with Key Delivery Messages reportedly not cleared, prompting cancellations across distribution channels.
  • Despite censor clearance with a U/A certificate and a reported 166‑minute runtime, the sequel remains on hold pending a legal and financial resolution.
