Biggest opening globally
Again, Veera Simha Reddy holds the record for Balayya’s biggest opening globally, with a gross of 48.12 crore at the worldwide box office. Akhanda 2 will easily break this record, too.
Highest-grosser in India
With 97.64 crore net, Veera Simha Reddy is Nandamuri Balakrishna’s highest-grossing film at the Indian box office. Even with decent word-of-mouth, Akhanda 2 will easily surpass this and become his first 100 crore net grosser.
Highest-grossing film globally
Even this record is held by Veera Simha Reddy. Released in 2023, the Tollywood action entertainer earned a lifetime collection of 130.64 crore gross at the worldwide box office. Daaku Maharaaj came closer, but couldn’t beat it by earning 125.60 crore gross. The Akhanda sequel has a strong chance of beating it. In the first few days, this number could be surpassed. With positive word-of-mouth, the biggie can potentially be Balayya’s first 200 crore grosser globally.
