While Nandamuri Balakrishna may be a director’s actor, he is also the person against whom no one has ever spoken up against. There have been several situations in the past where producers didn’t dare go against Balayya, even if whatever the actor said or demanded for, went against their rules. Now, for the first time, it looks like Mythri Movie Makers is about to take this risk.
Mythri Movie Makers is producing Balakrishna’s movie with director Gopichand Malineni, the title of which is yet to be announced. The movie’s shooting was supposed to take place in Turkey in the first week of August, but the shoot got canceled because of the halt in all shootings, and given that Balayya’s sister died, event the actor chose to stay home. Now that the actor is ready to get back in action, he is said to have asked the producers to plan the schedule immediately. Considering that this would be a last-minute plan, the tickets and accommodation to Turkey would cost 1 crore more than the normal price, which would be a huge increase to the already overboard budget.
Gopichand’s vision for the movie resulted in the budget going overboard, and the producers are now set to visit Balayya and explain the situation to him. With the shootings still paused, with budget concerns, the producers are said to be hoping that Balayya would understand their concerns. It is now to be seen what will happen ultimately.
