In spite of substantial competition from other Sankranthi films, Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's Jai Simha collected close to Rs.29 crores share and stood as a successful venture for Natasimham.
Balakrishna is supposed to work with director Teja for late NTR's biopic. Now that Teja is working for Victory Venkatesh's project at the moment, NTR biopic will be delayed further.
In the meanwhile, Jai Simha producer C Kalyan is planning bankroll yet another film for Balakrishna. Reportedly, Anil Ravipudi, who is at cloud nine with hattrick hits Pataas, Supreme and Raja the Great, will be directing this film.
If at all Balakrishna and Anil Ravipudi's film gets materialised, NTR biopic may go on sets in the second half of this year, will set for release prior to next general elections.
All in all, Balakrishna's films line-up with Jai Simha, Anil Ravipudi's project and NTR biopic is really impressing and Natasimham is expected to score hat-trick successes with all these films.
