The ultimate director who can handle Balakrishna’s image to the fullest is obviously Boyapati Srinu. Although directors like Rajamouli or VV Vinayak can do complete justice if given an opportunity for Balakrishna’s 100th but each of them are quite busy with respective assignments and are not free till next one year or so. This should have made Balayya Babu to check for an alternative in either Singeetam Srinivas Rao or Anil Ravipudi and others.
However, latest reports we received from inner film circles say that Balakrishna is also happy with Boyapati Srinu but it’s the matter of at least one year waiting time which he isn’t ready to waste on. Currently, Boyapati is doing ‘Sarrainodu’ with Bunny set for April release. Then he even had an agreement signed for Bellamkonda Suresh to direct his son Sai Sreenivas.
Here comes the deadlock. Suresh ran out of money and transferred this whole project including the agreements made into Abhishek Pictures hands. While Boyapati is demanding a budget of at least 25 to 30 Crores to begin the shooting of Sai Sreenivas film, in contrast the disastrous ‘Speedunnodu’ result is threatening them to step back. So, the decision is still awaited from Bellamkonda and Abhishek Pictures.
Meanwhile, Korrapati Sai entered into scene to mediate and settle the deal. He is very much ready to free up Boyapati Srinu and employ him for Balakrishna 100th on Varahi banner. Luckily, ‘Speedunnodu’ proved a key point that Sai Sreenivas isn’t a big hero and any budget above 10 Crores is a crude wastage. If Abhishek Pictures step out from the deal, Bellamkonda Suresh is all set to lose 5 Crores amount paid early on as advance to Boyapati. A final settlement is possible only after ‘Sarrainodu’ release. Probability is high for Boyapati to dump the accord if Korrapati transpires in time. Wait till April and Balakrishna 100th film will surely go into Boyapati and Korrapati hands.
