Balayya.. an energy brand!

A hero who looks like a lion in the village panchekattu.. A warrior who roars like a lion when he twirls his mustache!. The king of cinema NTR made his debut as the heir. But within a few days, he became a BRAND called ‘Balayya’!. Starting as Abhimanyu.. until he became Akhandudu, the avatars changed. But energy is the only thing! Age is just a number, his energy is ageless!. Today (June 10) is the birthday of Natasimham, God of Masses Balakrishna.

He made his mark right from his first film ‘Tatamma Kala’. Balayya, who impressed as Abhimanyu in ‘Danaveera Surakarna’ in his childhood, showed mature acting in films like ‘Akbar Salim Anarkali’. He started his journey as a solo hero in 1984 with ‘Sahasame Jeevan’ and gained a mass following the same year with ‘Mangamma Gari Manavadu’.

He released seven films in the first year and created a record. He became a super hero in six years. In the next phase, he became a trend setter with diverse films like 'Aditya 369, Bobbili Simham, Bhairava Dweep'. He became the carafe address for Rayalaseema faction films with 'Samarasimha Reddy' released in 1999. He received his first Nandi Award with 'Narasimha Naidu'.

He got closer to the masses with blockbusters like 'Simha, Legend, Akhanda' with the stories told by director Boyapati Srinu. He also proved his mettle in historical films with 'Gautamiputra Satakarni'. Recently, he has proved his craze once again by scoring hits in a row with successes like 'Veerasimha Reddy, Bhagwant Kesari, Daku Maharaj'. Currently, he is busy with another film 'Akhanda 2' directed by Gopichand Malineni. Today, on the occasion of Natasimham, the God of Masses Balakrishna's birthday, Telugu 70mm extends its birthday wishes to him.
