It was truly an iconic moment for South cinema fans when they saw Tamil megastar Rajinikanth and Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna come together. On Friday, Rajinikanth attended a special event to commemorate 100 years of Telugu actor turned politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR). During the event, the Shivaji actor opened up about the massive fan following of the Veera Simha Reddy actor, Balayya.

During the event, Rajinikanth gushed about the loyal fan following of Nandamuri Balakrishna and how audiences are open to accepting the Telugu superstar’s larger-than-life stunts . He said, “My friend Balayya kills with his single look. With a single eye blink, a vehicle can blast and go up to 30-feet-high. It cannot be done by Rajinikanth, Amitabh, Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan. The public won’t accept it if we do that kind of stuff.”

He also reasoned that fans are ready to accept Balayya’s action avatar, because he reminds them of his father NTR. He continued, “If Balayya does that, the audience will accept it. The Telugu audience doesn’t see him as Balayya, they see late NTR in Balayya. He is a kind-hearted person. I pray to God that he will serve more in films and politics.”

On the work front, Nandamuri Balakrishna, whose last theatrical release was Veera Simha Reddy in January, will be seen collaborating with Anil Ravipudi for his next. The untitled film, referred to as NBK108, will feature Kajal Aggarwal along with Sreeleela in a pivotal role.

Coming to Rajinikanth, the actor is busy with Nelson Dilipkumar’s directorial Jailer. The film will also feature Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal with Tamannaah Bhatia as the leading lady as well as Ramya Krishnan and Jackie Shroff playing pivotal roles.
