Nara Rohit and entire Balakrishnudu team is trying to minimize the media focus and publicity on hero’s six packs body which was in fact more aggressively promoted during the film’s production. Rohit is a bubbly boy with chubby physique. Characters and concepts he picked till date were more or less in sync with his physical frame.
As Balakrishnudu is a mass masala film with action, faction backdrop, initially makers pressurized Rohit to cut down the flab and get a slim outline to elevate heroism in action scenes. Accordingly, Rohit has hit the gym and toned down 20 Kgs weight of what he was during Jyo Achyuthananda. But never in this last leg of pre release promotions, neither Rohit nor the team declared on hero ripping off his shirt and there’s no such scene in the final copy.
Among all Nandamuri heroes, except Balakrishna both Junior NTR and Kalyan Ram have worked hard to develop six packs and exposed the same on big screen. But, Rohit seems to have taken his uncle Balakrishna's morphing route by keeping himself away from building any such packs even while working on mass scripts.
