While Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh are open to multi-starrers and crossover projects, Nandamuri Balakrishna remains firmly rooted in his trademark solo-hero style.
The veteran star reportedly turned down a key role in Jailer 2, making it clear that he’s still a one-man show and a crowd-puller on his own.
Even the chance to share screen space with Superstar Rajinikanth didn’t sway him!
Balayya, known for his unapologetic confidence and mass appeal, prefers to stay within Telugu cinema, shunning Kollywood collaborations or pan-India experiments.
At a time when every star is chasing cross-industry fame, Balayya proudly stays local and loyal, believing his strength lies with his Telugu audience.
And he might have a point — many who tried crossing over didn’t find success.
Jr NTR’s Bollywood entry didn’t click, Nagarjuna’s villain act with Rajinikanth made little difference — and Balayya seems determined not to repeat their mistakes.
In short, Balayya’s mantra is clear — no gimmicks, no pan-India hype. Just pure, vintage Balayya power! |
