Like Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh, even Nandamuri Balakrishna is also facing an unwelcome situation as directors and producers are terribly falling short of quality heroines to join these heroes. Age is the actual problem which separates these veteran stars from youngsters. Tamanna, Kajal, Samanta and other star heroines have already romanced current generation heroes like Ramcharan, Junior NTR, Rana etc which means they are ineligible to share the romantic space with forebears.
A random observation clearly finger points on Nayanathara, Shriya or someone like Asin who actually belong to yesteryear make a perfect match besides Balakrishna and Chiranjeevi. However, Balayya has twice acted with Nayanathara for memorable hits ‘Simha, Sri Rama Rajyam.’ As director Krissh wants some sort of freshness into ‘Gauthamiputhra Satakarni,’ there’s no big alternative options for Balayya and they are reportedly looking at Shriya to take up the important heroine character.
‘Chennakeshava Reddy’ was the flop film wherein Balayya, Shriya acted together in the past. We need to wait and see; when our unemployed Shriya signs the deal.
