Balayya's Title To Be Changed To 'Panjaa'

Sentiments and cinema industry run hand in hand and when it comes to big league heroes, the dosage is high. Now, one such man who believes strongly in such things is Nandamuri Balakrishna. It is heard that Balayya has been showing special focus on the titles of his projects and he has a sentiment regarding that.

After the success of ‘Simha’, Balayya has been looking for wild animal instinct on his film title. As such, wild animal names like ‘Simha’ ‘Puli’ ‘Chirutha’ are already used and they can’t use the names of wolf or jackal. Now, it is heard that Balayya is looking for a change of title in his new project. Buzz is that they are planning to use the title ‘Panjaa’.

Nandamuri fans are quite eager to see Balayya score a hit after getting shock treatment in the form of ‘Parama Veera Chakra’. While the title ‘Panjaa’ is sending a strong feel about the film, let us hope it is filled with enough content to help Balayya create a box office bonanza.

Simha Combination To Repeat Again :ABN

Balayya’s daughter gets admission in Stanford!

Balayya wants to follow Ramcharan, JrNTR!

Exclusive: Balayya and Nag combo?

Nandamuri's and Akkineni’s are pillars of the Telugu cinema industry. Both NT Ramarao and Akkineni Nageswara Rao had started their careers at the same time and they went on to rule the Telugu Cinema for decades. Although they competed with each other, they both shared many hits together - Missamma, Gundamma Katha, Ramakrishnulu, etc. Despite many attempts, their sons Balakrishna and Nagarjuna could not act together. Finally this dream combination of Balakrishna and Nagarjuna is materializing.

Producer Bellamkonda Suresh reportedly convinced both Balayya and Nagarjuna to come together in the remake of Malayalam super hit - Christian Brothers. The original movie had Mohan Lal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep and Sharath Kumar. Bellamkonda approached Balayya with this film and he said to have agreed to do the movie if Nagarjuna agrees. Nag is also positive about this proposal too.
We have to wait and see if this really goes to the sets.

Balayya's BLN @ Sree Rama Rajyam Shoot

Though he becomes the common target for many netizens and other audience when his film releases, Nandamuri Balakrishna has got a special respect and regard in the cinema circuit. The reason for that is his discipline and the commitment levels he shows while working on his films. That is why, most of the films that have gone kaput in his career, his performance was never the reason.

Right now, it is heard that Balayya is going through BLN (Brandy-Less nights), since he is donning the role of Lord Sree Rama in the new movie ‘Sree Rama Rajyam’ happening under the direction of the iconic Bapu. Few unit members also reveal Balayya is staying away from Non-Veg as well till the whole film is complete.

One can recall the time when Balayya’s father, the great NTR also followed certain strict rules while donning the roles of Sree Rama or Krishna. As of now, Balayya has been handling the BLN challenge quite effectively, say sources. For the record, his favorite brand is Mansion House.

Lessons To Be Learned From Balayya

Superstars and tantrums go hand in hand. This is the strong belief in the cine circuit. However, Nandamuri Balakrishna is one man who is an exception to that. Despite being part of the ‘Big 4’ of the Tollywood circuit, it is heard that Balayya has always been few steps ahead when it comes to people and his nature.

A famous director who worked with Balayya revealed “Balayya does not demand a caravan. Generally, he sits under a tree with table and chair and sometimes has a fan whenever there is a break between scenes. He comes to sets 30 minutes prior to reporting time just like his father.”

Another director revealed an interesting bit “Balayya often carries a voice recorder.  He has the habit of recording his own voice in tape recorder and does a self judging of dialogue delivery. He also does homework on his character and his body language.”

All this has got many to raise one question- In the film ‘Khadgam’, there was a character which is shown as having 30 years experience in the film industry. Many assumed it was Balayya at that time but it appears he is not. There is no link between the real Balayya and the character shown in Khadgam. So…. who is that hero?

Rana's 'Chinna Choopu' On Balayya

The true material of a superstar or celebrity doesn’t lie in success alone. It depends on how he carries himself in the society and how he relates to others. Perhaps that is something Daggubati Rana is yet to learn. This is an advice the Nandamuri fans and few cine seniors were giving him after hearing his recent statement.

Incidentally, Rana was sharing his thoughts in an interview when he stated “It is impossible that actors like me, Allu Arjun, Ramcharan, Naga Chaitanya can reach the stage of Nagarjuna or Chiranjeevi because they are icons and legends.” While the statement looks fine, here is the missing link.

Many who followed the interview asked why Rana didn’t mention about Junior NTR or Nandamuri Balakrishna. Both actors have made a mark for themselves and in comparison, junior is leagues ahead of Rana, they add. Some of them were quipping that Rana has a long way to prove his mettle in cine industry so it is better he avoids such ‘Chinna Choopu’ on some deserving colleagues.

Aditya 369 Film Becomes Reality?

It is often perceived that there is too much fiction in Telugu cinema and most of it is just imagination. However, you will have to start thinking about it once you read this.

Some are asking “will world become like this in 2012??” While that is something no one knows, one thing is clear that ‘Aditya 369’ seems to have ruffled few thoughts which are causing disturbance to many.

Ramgopal Varma Inspired Balayya!!
