Uday Kiran Is Releasing! What About Balayya?

While Balayyas is still a star, UdayKiran is a fallen star and that's the only difference that defines success of their movies. If you notice, both are sharing the same syndrome at the moment.

Once a celebrated star, Uday Kiran is now suffering the syndrome of 'releases'. His completed films are never getting a chance to see lime light. At least, a release of his film will make people remember that a hero named 'Uday Kiran' is still here in Tollywood. Making him go merry, his unreleased flick 'Nuvvekkaduntey Nenakkudunta' is finally releasing. The movie is hitting screens on 20th of this month. Recently, Nandamuri hero Balayya is also facing severe humiliation with the postponements of his film's release for many times.

'Adhinayakudu' failed to satisfy Nandamuri fans during Sankranthi and missed out even summer. Well, UK cannot alter the fate of his film's release for the kind of financial stamina he has in order to mobilize distributor networks to release his movie. But, Balayya can do it, right! So, when is 'Adhinayakudu' coming?

Balayya eyeing Nayan once again

Amidst the big heroes of the Tollywood circuit, it has been hard to find a proper golden pair in the last decade or so. Prior to that, it was Chiranjeevi with Radha and Nandamuri Balakrishna with Vijayasanthi. But now, it appears that Balayya seems to have found another perfect partner.

She is the gracious beauty Nayanthara. Apparently, Balayya paired with Nayan and scored a big hit in the form of 'Simha'. Their onscreen chemistry continued with the magnum opus 'Sri Rama Rajyam'. Now, it is heard that Balayya is eyeing Nayan once again and this is for a new project.

Sources say Balayya is looking at Nayan to be the leading lady for his ambitious venture, the remake of 'Narthanasala'. This would mean that Nayan will essay the role of Draupadi. Buzz is that Balayya has already made preparations to revamp the project so let us see if Nayan says yes or no.

'Adhinayakudu' to be postponed

Natasimha Balakrishna’s movie 'Adhinayakudu' may be postponed to another date as per the latest buzz. Adhinayakudu is slated for release on April 19th as of now. But the filmy sources say that it might be released in the second week of May due to the internal problems in production house.

Adhinayakudu is directed Paruchuri murali with Balakrishna playing the triple role. M L Kumar Chowdary is producing it on Keerti Combines banner. Recently the audio of this film was launched and the songs are slowly moving in the charts. Lakshmi Rai and Saloni plays the female leads in this film. Kalyani maalik is the music director.

Balakrishna's century plans are on

Nandamuri Balakrishna is preparing to make his 100th film a memorable one. With his current films Oo Kodathara Ulikkipadathara and Srimannarayana Balakrishna completes 96 films in his career. In all probabilities Balakrishna's 100th film will be released in 2014. Balakrishna wants to sign off on a high note with his century movie.

Balakrishna is planning to enter into politics in 2014. He has already announced that he would contest in next Assembly elections. Therefore, Balayya is trying to complete hundred films before he gets busy in politics. As per the grapevine, Balakrishna will be doing his dream project Nartanasala as his hundredth film.

Producer Yalamanchili SaiBaba of Sri Ramarajyam fame will produce this film. Nayanthara is likely to play the role of Draupadi in it. Balakrishna had plans to direct this film on his own. We have to wait and see if he is still willing to direct it or handover the responsibility to any renowned director. Balakrishna's mythological films didn't do well for some reason. Hope Nartanasala fulfills fans and Balayya's desire and quenches their thirst.

UKUP planning next schedule in Kerala

Rocking star Manchu Manoj's 'Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara' movie under the direction of debutante Shekar Raja would be shooting in Kerala soon. The unit will shoot scenes and a song on Manoj, Deeeksha Seth and other cast. This is the last schedule of movie in which almost all the lead cast will participate.

The movie has recently  done with the climax episode in Hyderabad. Deesksha Seth is paired opposite Manoj in this commercial family entertainer.

Manchu Laksmi Prasanna producing  the film on Manchu Entertainment banner.The film has Nandamuri Balakrishna in a special role is raising expectations.

Why can't Balakrishna take over?

Adhinayakudu's release has been under serious doubt yet again. The film's finances aren't cleared yet and the distributors who came forward to release the film are backing off due to the bad timing of release. Adhinayakudu missed out on releasing this week and now chances are highly unlikely for the film to see light for now.

Someone has to bail the producer out of his financial troubles to get the film out of boxes. Balakrishna has to step in to see the matter and take over the film from Kumar Chowdary. Earlier when films faced troubles to release, the heroes of those respective films stepped into bail them out as they believed that it was an issue of prestige.

Somehow, Balakrishna is not interested or caring about Adhinayakudu's release. He can't allow the film to stay in boxes forever. It is high time that the senior star reacts and sees that his film sees light. Balakrishna is currently busy with Srimannarayana movie which is being produced by Puppala Ramesh. That film won't be troubled as the producer is financially strong. Also it is being co produced by RR Movie Makers.

Balakrishna seeks CM Kiran's support

Senior hero and TDP star campaigner Balakrishna on Thursday met Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy at his camp office to seek his support to expand the services of Basavarama Tarakam Memorial Cancer Hospital.

Balayya's meeting with CM gained prominance as TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu was touring Kiran Kumar Reddy's native Pileru, Today.

The Cancer Hospital with world class facilities was the dream of NTR's wife Basava Tharakam, who died of this dreadful disease.

As per the latest updates, the suspense is still on as the makers of Adhinayakudu haven’t fixed the release date yet.

Rumor has it that Adhinayakudu release might be postponed to summer clashing with many other biggies that are slated for release at that time. To be particular, Adhinayakudu has chances to release on April 19th! That means it will have a clash with NTR's film Dammu after one week.

Balayya is 'Chinna Thathayya': Mohan Babu

Though collection king Mohan Babu doesn't say much, his affection and bonding with the Nandamuri family needs no introduction. While he considered the great N T Rama Rao as his mentor and Guru, he still maintains very strong equations with the likes of Nandamuri Balakrishna and others.

Now Mohan Babu has tagged Balayya as 'Chinna Thathayya'. It is heard that recently the grand daughters of Mohan Babu Ariana and Vivi had a pleasant surprise in the form of Balayya, his wife Vasundhara and sister Bhuvaneshwari. The family came in and gave their blessings to the little twins.

Overwhelmed by their visit, Mohan Babu reportedly mentioned that if he is the 'Thathayya' of the twins then Balayya is the 'Chinna Thathayya' of the twins. Already, Balayya is part of Mohan Babu's daughter Manchu Lakshmi's production venture 'Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara'. It's all about bonding folks!!

Why 'Adhinayakudu' is silent?

It is not a small thing when a film of Nandamuri Balakrishna is arriving. And if it happens to be a mass masala commercial entertainer then the hype is maximum. But surprisingly, one film of his is currently preparing to hit the screens and there is pin drop silence on that.

We are talking about the film 'Adhinayakudu' which is slated for release on April 12th. Despite the fact that it has Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead along with two hot bombshells Lakshmi Rai and Saloni, the film has been very quiet and the Nandamuri fans are maintaining silence about the film.

Given the long delay that the film went through and the small issues which made rounds, the cine folks believe it has got a flop written all over it. The fact that Balayya is doing a triple role is cheering some of his admirers so they are confident that the film will become a silent killer in this summer.
