Thaman’s music ignites big screens

The trailer and promo of 'Akhanda 2' have created a huge buzz on social media and played a major role in the film's first-day performance. Nandamuri Balakrishna plays dual roles in this installment as Akhanda Rudra and Sikander Anora. Muralikrishna also plays a key role. Samyuktha Menon plays the female lead opposite Balakrishna. Aadhi Pinisetty, Harshali Malhotra, Kabir Duhan Singh, Saswada Chatterjee, Ronson Vincent, Achiyuth Kumar, P. Sai Kumar, Poorna, Ravi Mariah, and Harsha Semudu play important roles.

Thaman scored the music, and his background score has ignited fire on big screens to add major strength to the film. Fans have been enjoying the mass action drama with the powerful music of Thaman. But the overloaded action scenes failed to work out among a few, and the film helmed by Boyapati Srinu faces mixed responses on the opening day.
