Nandamuri Fans and admirers would love to see Balakrishna entering into Pongal race because this festive season was always lucky for them. Many hit films of Balayya Babu were released during this time. When a section of NBK Fans had some remote hopes to see Boyapati Srinu’s film hitting the screens for Sankranthi, a recent announcement about Mahesh Babu’s ‘1 Nenokkadine’ drained their prospects away.
As 14 Reels is the same banner producing ‘1’ and ‘Jaya Simha’ (tentative title for Balayya film), when ‘1’ is declared of releasing on January 10th, there is no way they can plan the same season for Balakrishna irrespective of shooting progress. So, they might lock a date for Boyapati’s film only after the fate of ‘1’ is decided. So, as of now Nata Simham is thrown out of Sankranthi competition by Mahesh Babu’s most delayed flick.
