Official trailer and plot of Akhanda 2
Akhanda 2: Thaandavam begins with a rivalry involving a neighbouring nation plotting to destroy India by attacking what it believes to be the country’s spiritual backbone. The rival nation plans a massive biowarfare attack during the Maha Kumbh Mela, plunging the country into a full-blown crisis.
As the DRDO works on creating an antidote to the looming threat, the responsibility falls into the hands of Janani, the 16-year-old daughter of Murali Krishna, a prodigy with an IQ of 266.
When Janani successfully develops a vaccine against the biowarfare threat, she becomes the prime target of the enemy nation. Sensing danger to her life, her uncle and Aghora, Akhanda Rudra Sikandar, return once again to protect her, just as he promised in the first instalment.
How Akhanda uses his divine strength and supernatural powers to counter the threat against Janani and the nation as a one-man army forms the rest of the narrative.
The film is a sequel to the 2021 movie Akhanda, which was a massive hit.
