Legendary actor Sr NTR strove hard to establish his son Balakrishna as a top star in the industry. NTR cast Balakrishna in his films from a young age so that he gets used to the nuances of acting. Balakrishna also used to follow whatever his dad NTR decides for him.
However, Balakrishna at times differed with his legendary father and he many times had creative differences with him. It is known that NTR and ANR starred in a multi-starter Chanakya Chandragupta. Balakrishna did not approve of his dad NTR showing all the 9 sons of Magadh King Dhananand as comedians. He felt that antagonists should be strong to elevate the heroism of the hero. He felt NTR did a mistake in this aspect.
Similarly, Balakrishna did not approve of NTR's condition to complete the film Samrat Ashoka in quick time. NTR himself directed the film.
