Balakrishna now seems to be on a new high after the success of the film Sri Rama Rajyam. He said that he was fortunate to have got an opportunity to play the role of lord Rama in the film in the direction of Bapu.
Balakrishna recalled that it was his late father NT Rama Rao who became immortal in the roles of lord rama and Krishna. Balakrishna said that he may have inherited this from his father. He said (essaying mythological roles) was in his blood. The fans naturally cheered wildly at the reference to the legendary NT Rama Rao.
