Akhanda 2 vs OG: Tollywood is set for a humongous one as audiences sit in anticipation of what they anticipate will be two of the most-anticipated films ever made Akhanda 2 and The OG. They are both set to rock and dent, but the question on everyone’s mouth now is which one will reign supreme at the box office.
Following the deafening success of Akhanda (2021), Balakrishna’s comeback in Akhanda 2 is raising huge expectations among fans. The film is once again being directed by Boyapati Srinu, a tried-and-tested bank of mass action heroes, for the second time. With its legendary character Aghora, charged-up one-liners, and religion-meets-action plot, the sequel is all set to raise the heat even higher. The teaser has already garnered millions of hits, and fan expectations are running sky-high.
The OG, directed by Sujeeth and featuring Pawan Kalyan, is among the most hotly awaited action thrillers of recent years. With stylish visuals, racy plot, and universal appeal, The OG attempts to speak to both Telugu fans and pan-India viewers. Stylish visualization of violence, mafia backdrop, and high-octane action scenes guarantee a seat-on-the-edge experience.
Balakrishna has a huge fan following, particularly among the masses, and his ongoing success streak further contributed to Akhanda 2. Pawan Kalyan, however, is a megastar and political star with a unique star quality and pan-India appeal. His star presence alone ensures a clean opening.
Both have robust distribution strategies and are likely to open enormous in domestic as well as international markets. Akhanda 2 will rule single screens and Tier 2 cities while The OG will sweep multiplexes and metro cities.
