Tollywood Young hero Bellamkonda who made his debut with Alludu Seenu (2014) opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu tasted success, but he failed to climb the ladder up.Though his films failed to cloak big numbers at the box-office, he certainly impressed the audience with his dancing skills and high-octane fights. He even enjoys a fair following in Bollywood too.

Six of his Hindi dubbed films earned more than 200 million views on YouTube. To everyone’s surprise, he has decided to shift his focus to Bollywood and make a debut there.Rather than going for a straight film, he is playing a safe game by opting to remake Prabhas starer Chayrapathi in Hindi. V.V. Vinayak is helming the intense action drama.

After making an impressive debut, he went for a suspense drama for his second project, Naragasooran, which features noted stars like Aravind Swamy, Shriya Saran, Sundeep Kishan, Aathmika, and Indrajith Sukumaran in the lead roles.
