Known for his trust in his directors, Nandamuri Balakrishna has traditionally given them free rein after locking a project, staying away from script involvement and rushes. However, whispers suggest a shift in approach for the veteran actor, particularly for his upcoming film, NBK109, directed by Bobby Kolli.
Balakrishna has reportedly become actively involved in the script, even suggesting changes and demanding a complete reshoot of an entire episode after reviewing the rushes. This is a departure from his previous filmmaking methods, sparking curiosity and speculation.
Further fueling these speculations is the involvement of his daughter, Tejaswini. She has become a prominent figure in Balakrishna's films, acting as the first reader for scripts and offering her approval before her father even considers them. She is also actively involved in designing his look.
While such involvement by stars in their films is commonplace, this active participation from Balakrishna, coupled with Tejaswini's growing influence, has generated buzz. It remains to be seen whether this new approach will mark a long-term shift in Balakrishna's filmmaking style.
NBK109, produced by Sithara Entertainments, is currently in the midst of filming and is expected to release early next year. With this change in approach, the film is sure to be a highly anticipated release, keeping fans on the edge of their seats to witness the outcome of this newfound collaboration.
