Nandamuri Balakrishna always used to entertain movie lovers and fans with two to three films every year. But after his last Srimannarayana, Balayya did not sign a single project and he did not show interest in starting a new project. Many film makers and even fans started finding out reasons for Balakrishna’s acts.

All the time media used to be abuzz with reports that he is about to sign a film with this or that director but nothing materialised. But all those remained just rumors. Now many are talking about Ruler under Boyapati Srinu direction but till now nothing came out and so one gets a feeling that even this project may go for a toss.

Many say that the gap is due to Balakrishna tasting flops and going by the current trend, even Balakrishna wants to focus more on politics and Basavatarakam cancer hospital. It is a strategic decision by Simha.    

The statement made by Boyapati Srinu, who gave the blockbuster Simha to Bala Krishna is seen by observers as an indirect punch by Balayya to Jr. NTR and his recent hit ‘Baadshah’.

Boyapati gave a TV interview on the occasion of his birthday on Wednesday. In that interview, he talked about his career and his forthcoming film with Balayya.

In the conversation, Boyapati said he always maintained some values as director. He sarcastically said he doesn’t want a comedian to be the hero of a Rs. 50 crore film. He said he takes a film with heroism as the theme.

This dialogue is seen as a punch at Jr. NTR and Baadshah. It may be recalled that there is talk that ‘Baadshah’ became a hit because of Brahmanandam, who ignited the screen with humour in the second half. It was even said fans were watching the film repeatedly only for the second half and Brahmanandam. Now there is talk in the film industry that Balayya could have made Boyapati crackle this satire at Jr. NTR. The comment meant that Jr. NTR could not show any heroism and instead depended on a comedian for the success of his film, say observers.
 

Telugu actor Sunil Varma, who shares screen space with Naga Chaitanya in upcoming action-drama “Thadaka”, feels that the latter is one of the fast evolving mass heroes in the industry.

“I played his (Chaitanya) friend in his debut film ‘Josh’ and play his co-star in ‘Thadaka’. The transformation I see in him now is unbelievable because he played a lover boy then, and now plays a completely mass-appealing character. It’s not easy to evolve as a mass hero in such a short period of time,” Sunil told.

“I’m sure audiences are going to love the biggest highlight of the film – the fights featuring him. Sooner or later, he will be known as one of the best mass heroes in the industry,” he added.

Directed by Kishore Kumar Pardasani, “Thadaka” is the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster “Vettai”. It also features Tammannah Bhatia and Andrea Jeremiah in key roles.

Sunil and Chaitanya will feature in roles originally played by R. Madhavan and Arya respectively. The remake will feature Ashutosh Rana, who played the baddie in the original. “It’s an out and out commercial entertainer with appropriate dose of humour and romance. I believe Chaitu and I hit it off quite well working together,” said Sunil, who started his career as a comedian and went to play lead roles.

Sunil says he will never forget his roots.

“I know where I have come from and I will always remember that. Audiences accepted me as a comedian first and then as a hero and, therefore, I will entertain them as much as possible. Even in this film, I have good amount of comedy and action to perform,” he added.

“Thadaka” also features Nagendra Babu, Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, Raghu Babu, Rama Prabha, Jaya Prakash Reddy and Srinivasa Reddy. Slated to release in May, it is produced by Bellamkonda Ganesh.
