People think Balaiah Babu the legend star is a head strong man. But he is not so . When it comes to work , Balaiah is like his father senior NTR exactly. Senior NTR used to come exactly on time or before the schedule time . He used to sleep on the floor, quit non veg while shooting for religious characters.
Puri the top film director was stumped by the punctuality of Balaiah during the shoot of Tapori the latest movie. They have completed the first schedule that too with action sequences.
It looks like even after being a senior star with 100 movies and back to back hits, Balaiah comes on time and just follows the director . No hassles no interference. Just surrender to the director. That is what he is doing with Puri right now.
Puri Jagannath is all praise for Nandamuri Balakrishna during the pre-release promotions of ‘Rogue’.
‘Balayya will sport the look of a Gangster. His look will be completely different from what he has done till date. Apart from Hyderabad, We will be shooting in few foreign locations. We wrapped up the first schedule already.
So far, We have completed the crucial sequence before the Interval Bang. Audience would find Balayya’s characterization and dialogues very unique’.
Asked about the experience working with Nata Simha, Puri disclosed: ‘I thought working with Balayya sir will be in a certain way. But, I had a completely difference experience. I was blown away by his punctuality and energy.
He would arrive to the sets by 6:30 AM itself. By 7 AM, He will be ready for the shot. Is there any other Hero like that? Even Debutante & Upcoming Heroes won’t be doing it. I think, He inherited the discipline from his father NTR’.
After Gautami Putra, Balaiah knows how the completion of a movie on time is important for the success of the movie and also the collections.
