Speaking at an event held in his cancer hospital in Hyderabad, Balakrishna spoke of his experience shooting for Akhanda 2. "We were in Georgia when the temperature was minus 4. It was bone-chilling, but I could withstand it because of Shiva's grace," Balakrishna said. Akhanda 2's Teaser was released yesterday.
