The number 52 has a very special significance in Balakrishna’s life. Speaking at the 50 day function of Sri Rama Rajyam Balakrisha said that he was now 52 and he got a chance to act as lord Rama at his age. Balakrishna said that his father the late NT Rama Rao too was 52 when he played the role of Lord Sri Rama in the film Sri Ramanjaneya Yuddham.
The coincidence is that they both were 52 years of age when they essayed the roles. Another interesting coincidence is that it was Bapu who directed both the films. Balakishna said that it was divine blessings that gave him an opportunity to play the role of his lifetime.
