Seasoned actor and politician Nandamuri Balakrishna received a special honour at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. The prestigious cultural festival, which brings together celebrated film personalities and delegates from across the nation, commenced on Thursday with a grand opening ceremony.
Marking 50 years in cinema, Balakrishna has earned countless accolades over his illustrious journey. In recognition of his immense contribution to Indian cinema, he was felicitated with a special honour on the very first day of the festival. The event was graced by Goa Governor and former TDP Polit Bureau Member P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting L. Murugan, and Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.
During his address, Balakrishna expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported him throughout his five-decade career. He thanked his parents, NTR and Basavatarakam, for being his guiding inspiration and said he proudly carries forward their legacy. He also acknowledged his wife Vasundhara for her unwavering support and crucial role in his journey.
Earlier this year, the Hindupur MLA was honoured with the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India for his contributions to social service through the Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital and for his inspiring achievements in cinema.
On the professional front, Balakrishna is gearing up for the release of his upcoming pan-India film Akhanda 2. He is also set to collaborate with Gopichand Malineni for a historical action drama next.
