It looked like a pure obligation, that Balayya and Tarak appeared on the same stage for Kalyan Ram’s 118 movie pre-release event. The whole event was dull and pale even when there were stars like Balayya and NTR.
While Tarak too looked serious throughout and so did Kalyan Ram, it clearly appeared that Balakrishna too was not in a mood. NTR Mahanayakudu’s disastrous result became the index of Balayya’s face and his speech was even worse.
Though it is not new for Balakrishna to forget the movie titles for which he was invited as a chief guest, this time, he mentioned the movie title as ‘189’ every time instead of ‘118’. Tarak and Kalyan Ram tried to correct it a few times, but those attempts ended up in vain.
The flop show of Mahanayakudu must have so disturbed Balayya, he could not speak much about Kalyan Ram nor his movie. There was not a single mention of ‘NTR Mahanayakudu’ in the event.
There were no loud shouts from fans too until Balayya took Tarak’s name, which he almost forgot. Looks like Balayya needs some time to come out of ‘NTR’ mood.
