Nandamuri
Balakrishna fondly called by his fans as bAlayya needs no
introduction. He entered the film Industry at the age of 14
through his home production tAtammakala, in which he had the
opportuinty to work with the two legends of Tollywood, Late
Sri NTR and Dr. Bhanumati Ramakrishna. For 10 successive years
he acted off and on in movies mostly produced under his home
production. 1984 is the year when his first movie as a solo
hero was released and interestingly he acted in very less
number of movies made under his home productions after that.
 Even
though entered the film industry because of his father, later
his hard work, discipline, talent and dedication made him
stand in the industry. He had been acting in movies for the
past 27 years but unlike some of his peers, he never cared
to celebrate the 10th or the 25th anniversaries of his movie
career. He is a simple person and likes to stay away from
publicity, which is one of the factors that didn't get him
the due recognition. He believes in astrology and numerology
and doesn't want to do things in "rahu kalam".
 He
acted in a movie called annadammula anubandham, a remake of
Dharmendra's hindi hit yadonki barat at the age of 16. Upon
watching this movie, the other legend of the Telugu film industry
Sri. ANR's comment was "simham kaDupuna simham puTTindi".
Interestingly he acted in a brother's role to his real life
father in that movie as well as in "rouDI rAmuDU konTe kRshNuDu",
and in a son's role to his real life brother Hari Krishna
in the movie "dAna vIra Sura karNa". He won the hearts of
many people for his role of "aBimanyuDu" in that movie, which
also had his legendary father dominating most of the scenes
in a triple role. In the year 1984, he acted in 3 blockbusters,
"mangamma gAri manavaDu", "kathAnAyakuDu" and his home production
"SrI madvirAT pOtulUri vIrabrahmEndra svAmi caritra".
 In
the year 1986, he had delivered 6 hits in a row. During the
year of 1993 only two of his movies were released and surprisingly
both of them were released on the same day. This is one of
the unique feats that none of his contemporaries would ever
dare to try. He bid farewell to the previous millennium in
style by giving the biggest hit of the previous millennium
with "smmara simhA reDDi". The one thing his fans are eagerly
looking from him is a superduper hit in the combination of
ace director Sri. K.Raghavendra Rao, who had given such blockbusters
like aDavi rAmuDu, vETagADu etc. This combination was able
to deliver only a mediocre hit (apUrva sahOdarulu) and an
average hit (paTTABishEkam) out of the 5 movies they did so
far.
BAlayya
is famous for his roles in the movies made with village backdrop.
The undeniable factor is that, among his contemporaries, he
is the only hero who is best suitable for playing the mythological
and folklore roles in movies, for which his legendary father
was famous. He worked as an associate director for his father's
last directional venture (samrAT aSOka).An ardent fan and
admirer of his father, he had equal if not more respect for
his father's contemporaries. His dream projects are gOna gannA
reDDI and Chenghis Khan and want to direct these movies under
his own banner. He needs to improve in the areas of proper
planning and needs to adapt quickly to the changing trends
in the industry. We at idlebrain.com, wish him on the occasion
of his 44thd Birthday and wish him all success in his future
projects and life.
