Hero Nagarjuna said that Lord Venkateshwara of TTD is like a friend to him. Nagarjuna was at the launch function of Om Namo Venkatesaya along with Director Raghavendra Rao and others.
His sons Nagachaitanya and Akhil wife Amala were also present during the launch function. Recollecting that his father Nageswar Rao never worshiped Balaji or any other god, Nagarjuna said that his mother went to TTD and took him along with her.
He said that when his mother was very sick he asked lord to take her away and that the gold obliged for the same. He asked the lord to make Manam movie a hit, the lord made it a hit he announced. Now his sons are getting married with the grace of lord and that news he got it when he returned from the TTD.
Nagarjuna opined that he had some kind of connection with Balaji and is like a friend to him. He thanked Raghavendra rao for making movies, like Annamayya, Bhakta Ramadass and other ones. It is like an order from the god that they are making Om Namo Venkatesaya.
The story is about Hathiram Baba who played dice with Lord Venkateshwara. It is about his friendship with the lord and who played games with the lord at TTD.
Raghavendra Rao opined that it was a god sent opportunity to make such movies. The function was done with a lords idol as the back drop and puja was also performed over the stage. Amala was seen in front of the stage smiling all the way.
