We all are alcoholics and workaholics: Balakrishna

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s mass action entertainer Veera Simha Reddy has already entered the profit zone and the makers today hold the success meet called Veera Simhuni Vijayotsavam. Other than the core team, the event was attended by Vishwak Sen, Siddu Jonnalagadda, Anil Ravipudi, Harish Shankar, Hanu Raghavapudi, Shiva Nirvana etc.

Producers said, “Balayya Babu gave us this opportunity, after the blockbuster success of Akhanda and Unstoppable show, and we feel it’s a great responsibility. This movie became the highest-grosser for Balakrishna garu in just 8 days. It still is running successfully.”

Gopichand Malineni said, “We are celebrating NTR’s Shata Jayanthi and I’m fortune enough to make a movie with Balakrishna garu during the time. I will always be indebted to Balakrishna garu. There are many fan and family moments in the movie. Veera Simha Reddy became a blockbuster with the support of fans and families. I wanted to see the dances of Balayya Babu and Shruti Haasan on screen. She did the movie despite less screen space, for Balakrishna garu, me, and for the producers. Varalaxmi is a wonderful actress like Sarada. Duniya Vijay is a humble person like Srihari. Mythri Naveen garu and Ravi garu approached to make a movie with Balayya Babu before the release of Krack. I can never give them up.”

Balakrishna said, “I did a faction film after a long time. I can’t reveal the reasons now why Gopichand was arrested on the first day of the release of Samara Simha Reddy. It’s easy to book cases now. I wanted to do a movie like Chenna Kesava Reddy when I and Gopichand Malineni were thinking of doing a movie together. I slap my thigh and say, I’m proud of doing Veera Simha Reddy. It was a wonderful journey. We all are alcoholics and workaholics. I start my daily routine with a cigar every day, which helps me utter my dialogues correctly. Cinema, Basavatarakam Hospital and my constituency are the three things I love most. Shruti Haasan is a very good artist. Naveen and Ravi are very passionate producers. They are continuing to make some good movies.”
