Karthikeya 2 Success Hurts Balayya FansNikhil’s Karthikeya 2 is going on a pretty good run at the Telugu and also Hindi box office. Incidentally, this film’s success has hurt Balakrishna’s fans and here’s the story behind the same.

Balakrishna’s fans are regretting a missed pan-Indian opportunity after watching how Karthikeya 2 is being lapped up by the Hindi audience.

“Karthikeya 2 has lord Krishna theme and it’s striking a chord with the Hindi audience, who are high on devotional and patriotic stuff. Had Akhanda, which has an overwhelming lord Shiva and Hinduism angle released in Hindi, it would’ve done wonders given the current trend in the Hindi market,” Balakrishna’s fans say.

After watching how the Hindi audience are lapping you Hinduism oriented films, there has always been a talk that Akhanda team missed the trick by not releasing the film in Hindi.

Now that Karthikeya 2, with its Hindu mythology touch is working well in Hindi, Balayya fans are regretting Akhanda’s missed opportunity. “The film was a perfect blend of mythological touch and mass action, a proven formula for the Hindi audience,” they say and they do have a strong point.
