Balakrishna the superstar is celebrating his birthday today. It is being done on a low key as the TDP has lost miserably in the recent elections. He has won the Hindupur seat with great difficulty. He had some hits in recent times. But Legend is still popular as it ran in the theatres for about a year. It was directed by Boyapati Srinu. After that, there were some flops for Balaiah.
Balakrishna started his career as a child artist and his father the legendary NTR encouraged him in films. His Gautamiputra Sathakarni was a surprise hit and it was directed by Krish. But Paisa Vasool directed by Puri Jagannadh did not do well at the box office. Not only mass, but Balaiah has done some class movies also. But people always liked his mass movies.
His Aditya 369 movie with science fiction is still fresh in the minds of people and was directed by Singeetham Srinivas Rao. Balaiah also did some mythological roles along with his father which were appreciated by the masses. About 55 per cent of his movies have made good collections at the box office and can be said as a minimum guarantee man.
Now that the TDP has lost the election, he has the responsibility of reviving the party. Balaiah is of the opinion that joining the Congress at National level was a big mistake.
