14 Reels Entertainments and Varahi Chalana Chithra of Sai Korrapati preserved a delightful alliance with Nandamuri Balakrishna. In fact, their teaming for ‘Legend’ stood as real blockbuster evolving as highest grossing flick in Balayya Babu’s career. From then on, Balakrishna stood always besides them for every situation, right from film launch events to audio functions.
Actually, 14 Reels and Varahi had an elephantine sketch to produce Balayya’s 100th film on a historical scale. They have even contacted Boyapati Srinu and Krishna Vamsi to lock the combination. However, Krissh coming up with ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ dissolved their dreams. Though NBK wanted his friendly producers to take up the production responsibility but it was on Krissh’s insistence, the project landed in the hands of Rajeev Reddy’s First Frame banner. As Krissh needed a free hand without any budget control, he took the burden on himself by becoming the producer.
Obviously, Sai Korrapati and 14 Reels bosses were upset for losing Balayya. However, Balayya Babu is a man with lion heart. He compensated the loss by signing them 101st film which also happens to be Mokshangya’s debut project. That’s how Balakrishna is known for his kindness.
