Nandamuri Balakrishna is sole hero in their family who carried the legacy of legendary Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao to next generation. Junior NTR and Kalyanram only followed the legacy of Balakrishna, one can clearly state that Balayya was successful mostly to make Nandamuri fans feel proud after NTR.
It is a common business that heroes start following their legendary fathers and try to travel on same paths. But, Balayya is all different and he even openly agrees that he is not like his father NTR in movies. ‘I have seen my father NTR working for three to four shifts in a day and many a times we missed him. He tried best to spend time with us but that was not possible during those years. Iam not like my father when it comes to work schedules. After 6PM, mostly I say pack up and spend time with family. Coming to discipline and dedication, we inherited the culture but spending time with family, I can’t miss it,’ said Simha Balayya.
Well, Balakrishna is at least one hero who is striking a neat balance between professional and personnel lives.
