Rajnikanth's pat for 'Simha'

Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is riding high following the success of his latest film Simha, has another reason to smile. Tamil Superstar Rajnikanth called up the actor and complimented him saying he had seen the film and Balaiah Babu did an impressive job.

As part of the success of the film, the actor had already visited nine Narasimha Swamy temples in the state, including the Dharmapuri Narasimha Swamy temple in Karimnagar district which happens to be the ninth temple, Simha team visited. Now, the actor is on the moon, with Rajnikanth’s pat for the film. 

It may be noted that the actor tasted the success nearly five years after his last success Lakshmi Narasimha. Earlier, his films Samarasimha Reddy and Narasimha Naidu went on to become blockbusters.

The film generated a lot of buzz even before its release. Director Boyapati Srinu’s previous two films becoming success was another reason for the high expectations.
