After Chiru, Balayya Set To Join Forces With a Young Gun?

Gone are the days when young and inexperienced directors used to find it difficult to secure opportunities to work with top-league actors of Tollywood. Only directors with proven track record were usually given preference by our star heroes in the past due to box office dynamics and high expectations from fans. 

But, the scenario has completely changed now because even debut directors are getting chance to helm big-budget films. Also, happening filmmakers who won critical acclaim with their previous works are being encouraged by our big-ticket actors. 

Interestingly, seasoned actors like Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are inclined towards young and talented directors to explore new genres and undergo phenomenal transformations even at the fag end of their careers. 

That Megastar Chiranjeevi is going to work with Dasara fame director Srikanth Odela is already a known fact. The announcement poster of this exciting collaboration has already sparked a massive anticipation because Srikanth Odela has already packed a punch with his gritty style and high voltage narration in Nani’s Dasara. 

Now, it is Balakrishna’s turn to team up with another directional prodigy who proved his mettle with critically acclaimed films like Ante Sundaraniki and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. It is almost confirmed that Vivek Athreya will wield the megaphone for Balakrishna’s 112th film and it will be made on a large canvas with huge casting. 

Both Chiru and Balayya are reportedly impressed with the scripts narrated by these young guns and agreed to work with them immediately. Despite their age factor, both actors are eager to go against the grain and deviate from their formulaic approach to deliver novel content for moviegoers and fans. So, they are willing to encourage directors who come up with exciting stories. 

As Srikanth Odela and Vivek Athreya already showcased what they are capable of delivering if they find the right actor for their scripts, both of them would definitely look to present these top actors in never before seen avatars and bring out their vintage best on the big screen.
