In 1991, he acted in another blockbuster

and the future. And now they are trying to

Recent work (2000–present)
In 2000, Balakrishna acted in Goppinti

several box office records and it
completed 100 days in as many as 109
centres in the state and neighbouring
states and silver jubilee in a record 17
centre. [35][36] He won his first Nandi
Award for Best Actor for his performance.
In the same year, he appeared in
Bhalevadivi Basu with Shilpa Shetty ,
Anjala Zhaveri which opened to average
reviews.[37] His 2002 and 2003 films
include Seema Simham, Chennakeshava
Reddy neither of which were well received,
but the later one did an average business
at the box office. In 2004, he performed
in a remake of the 2003 Tamil hit Saamy
titled Lakshmi Narasimha with Asin
Thottumkal. The film and Balakrishna's
performance won critical acclaim and was
a box office hit. [38][39]
The years from 2005 to 2009 saw a lull in
Balayya's career. Action-drama flicks such
as Vijayendra Varma , Veerabhadra, Allari
Pidugu, Okka Magadu and Maharadhi
bombed at the box office. [40] Balakrishna
paired with Sneha and Tabu in the
mythological movie Panduranga (2008)
directed by K. Raghavendra Rao . He played
the dual roles of Krishna and Panduranga .
[41] Rediff described his performance as
"Balakrishna does justice to both the roles
of God and Ranga. He shines in the climax
of the movie. It's quite a task to step into
NTR's shoes but his son has done pretty
well, though one does miss NTR in the
role of Krishna!". [42] The film was an
average success and his performance won
him the Santosham Best Actor Award .[43]
In the year 2009, he starred in family
drama Mithrudu alongside Priyamani in a
slightly different role – that of a
dependable friend and confidante to the
female lead. The film opened to average
reviews.[44]
In 2010, he acted in Boyapati Srinu's film
Simha alongside Nayantara and Sneha
Ullal. NBK played dual roles as father and
son. The film opened to positive reviews,
[45] and went on to became one of the
highest grossing film of the year. [46] A
review in Rediff said about his
performance "Balakrishna has put in a
restrained performance. Though his
character is supposed to roar at times, he
seems subdued most of the time. But he's
given plenty to be pleased about as it is
his show all the way." [47] In 2011 he
acted in a mythological film Sri Rama
Rajyam based on the epic Ramayana.
In 2014, he acted in Boyapati Srinu's film
Legend alongside Sonal Chauhan and
jagapathi babu. NBK played dual Brother
roles. The film turned out to be a
Blockbuster and entered into 50 Crore
Club
International Film Festival of
India (IFFI)
The Goa Governor, B V Wanchoo, the Chief
Minister Manohar Parrikar and Balakrishna
were seen along with award winners and
other dignitaries at the closing ceremony
of the 43rd edition of the IFFI.
Balakrishna, in his speech, said that
although Telugu film industry finds no
place in the film festival by way of
representation to its films, 80 per cent of
the movies that are produced in India are
in regional languages, out of which 50 per
cent are from South India. "Today, film
industry is facing competition from radio,
and television as also from piracy," the
South Indian superstar stated. He also
maintained that the film festivals have
enlarged his vision towards his career. [48]
Article on National
Geographic
While shooting SrimanNarayana movie in
Switzerland with cast Nandamuri
Balakrishna and Ishachawla the National
Geopgraphic Traveler Andrew Evans ,wrote
an article named "Dream Sequence" about
the dance sequence on hero and heroine,
and he wrote discussions happened with
cast and Rengarajan Jaiprakash regarding
films and Swiss. [49]
Shooting controversy
Nandamuri Balakrishna was involved in a
shooting controversy. The incident took
place on June 3, 2004 around 20:50 hrs at
his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.
It is alleged that the actor has fired shots
at the producer B.Suresh and his
associate, Satyanarayana Chowdhary.
Later both the wounded were admitted
into Apollo hospital. [50] The
circumstances under which the case was
handled led to much controversy as
purported by the Human Right Forum
(HRF). The HRF has questioned the
authenticity of people who handled the
case, and the circumstances under which
the actor was shielded from police by
giving refuge in the CARE Hospital with
out any justifiable cause. [51] The two
victims have given statements before the
magistrate alleging that actor
Sri.Nandamuri Bala krishna has fired shots
at them during their treatment in the
hospital but soon they were retracted and
made volte-face of their earlier
statements.[52] The actor was arrested
later on June 6 at around 3:30 AM and
produced before fifth Metropolitan
Magistrate. A show cause notice was also
served on Sri. Nandamuri Bala Krishna's
wife Smt. Vasundhara Devi (married:
1982) as the weapon used was licensed
under her name and she could not give
sufficient protection to her licensed
weapon. But later the actor was granted
bail. [53]
Political entry
Ever since the Telugu Desam Party
formation, Balakrishna always campaigned
for it in every election but never entered
the electoral battle. He contested in the
2014 Legislative Elections on behalf of
TDP and won the Hindupur Assembly
Constituency seat with a good majority
(16,397). [54] Hindupur, in Anantapur
district, has been a TD stronghold since
1983. It was once represented by NTR
himself and later for a term by his elder
son Nandamuri Harikrishna and
Balakrishna will be the third from the
family to represent State Assembly. [55]

In 1991, he acted in another blockbuster
science fiction film Aditya 369 directed by
Singeetam Srinivasa Rao . The film is about
a time machine that goes into the past
and the future. And now they are trying to

during that period of time. He then had
two releases in 1992 Dharma Kshetram
was an Average and Rowdy Inspector
directed by B. Gopal , was a "Super Hit" at
the box-office. [28] In the year 1993,
balakrishna had two releases on the same

out of which "Bangaru Bullodu" was a

The film was a critical and commercial

acting career. In Brahmarshi Viswamitra,
directed by his father, he played as Satya
Harischandra and Dushyanta. Between
1994–1999, he acted in super hit movies
like Bobbili Simham , Vamsanikokkadu ,
Peddannayya and moderate successes like
Muddula Mogudu , Maatho Pettukoku,

Recent work (2000–present)
In 2000, Balakrishna acted in Goppinti

with Simran. The film was a hit at the box
office. [34] In 2001, he starred in B.
Gopal's directed faction film Narasimha

several box office records and it
completed 100 days in as many as 109
centres in the state and neighbouring
states and silver jubilee in a record 17
centre. [35][36] He won his first Nandi
Award for Best Actor for his performance.
In the same year, he appeared in
Bhalevadivi Basu with Shilpa Shetty ,
Anjala Zhaveri which opened to average
reviews.[37] His 2002 and 2003 films
include Seema Simham, Chennakeshava
Reddy neither of which were well received,
but the later one did an average business
at the box office. In 2004, he performed
in a remake of the 2003 Tamil hit Saamy
titled Lakshmi Narasimha with Asin
Thottumkal. The film and Balakrishna's
performance won critical acclaim and was
a box office hit. [38][39]
The years from 2005 to 2009 saw a lull in
Balayya's career. Action-drama flicks such
as Vijayendra Varma , Veerabhadra, Allari
Pidugu, Okka Magadu and Maharadhi
bombed at the box office. [40] Balakrishna
paired with Sneha and Tabu in the
mythological movie Panduranga (2008)
directed by K. Raghavendra Rao . He played
the dual roles of Krishna and Panduranga .
[41] Rediff described his performance as
"Balakrishna does justice to both the roles
of God and Ranga. He shines in the climax
of the movie. It's quite a task to step into
NTR's shoes but his son has done pretty
well, though one does miss NTR in the
role of Krishna!". [42] The film was an
average success and his performance won
him the Santosham Best Actor Award .[43]
In the year 2009, he starred in family
drama Mithrudu alongside Priyamani in a
slightly different role – that of a
dependable friend and confidante to the
female lead. The film opened to average
reviews.[44]
In 2010, he acted in Boyapati Srinu's film
Simha alongside Nayantara and Sneha
Ullal. NBK played dual roles as father and
son. The film opened to positive reviews,
[45] and went on to became one of the
highest grossing film of the year. [46] A
review in Rediff said about his
performance "Balakrishna has put in a
restrained performance. Though his
character is supposed to roar at times, he
seems subdued most of the time. But he's
given plenty to be pleased about as it is
his show all the way." [47] In 2011 he
acted in a mythological film Sri Rama
Rajyam based on the epic Ramayana.
In 2014, he acted in Boyapati Srinu's film
Legend alongside Sonal Chauhan and
jagapathi babu. NBK played dual Brother
roles. The film turned out to be a
Blockbuster and entered into 50 Crore
Club
International Film Festival of
India (IFFI)
The Goa Governor, B V Wanchoo, the Chief
Minister Manohar Parrikar and Balakrishna
were seen along with award winners and
other dignitaries at the closing ceremony
of the 43rd edition of the IFFI.
Balakrishna, in his speech, said that
although Telugu film industry finds no
place in the film festival by way of
representation to its films, 80 per cent of
the movies that are produced in India are
in regional languages, out of which 50 per
cent are from South India. "Today, film
industry is facing competition from radio,
and television as also from piracy," the
South Indian superstar stated. He also
maintained that the film festivals have
enlarged his vision towards his career. [48]

Geopgraphic Traveler Andrew Evans ,wrote
an article named "Dream Sequence" about
the dance sequence on hero and heroine,
and he wrote discussions happened with
cast and Rengarajan Jaiprakash regarding
films and Swiss. [49]
Shooting controversy
Nandamuri Balakrishna was involved in a
shooting controversy. The incident took
place on June 3, 2004 around 20:50 hrs at
his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.
It is alleged that the actor has fired shots
at the producer B.Suresh and his
associate, Satyanarayana Chowdhary.
Later both the wounded were admitted
into Apollo hospital. [50] The
circumstances under which the case was
handled led to much controversy as
purported by the Human Right Forum
(HRF). The HRF has questioned the
authenticity of people who handled the
case, and the circumstances under which
the actor was shielded from police by
giving refuge in the CARE Hospital with
out any justifiable cause. [51] The two
victims have given statements before the
magistrate alleging that actor
Sri.Nandamuri Bala krishna has fired shots
at them during their treatment in the
hospital but soon they were retracted and
made volte-face of their earlier
statements.[52] The actor was arrested
later on June 6 at around 3:30 AM and
produced before fifth Metropolitan
Magistrate. A show cause notice was also
served on Sri. Nandamuri Bala Krishna's
wife Smt. Vasundhara Devi (married:
1982) as the weapon used was licensed
under her name and she could not give
sufficient protection to her licensed
weapon. But later the actor was granted
bail. [53]
Political entry
Ever since the Telugu Desam Party
formation, Balakrishna always campaigned
for it in every election but never entered
the electoral battle. He contested in the
2014 Legislative Elections on behalf of
TDP and won the Hindupur Assembly
Constituency seat with a good majority
(16,397). [54] Hindupur, in Anantapur
district, has been a TD stronghold since
1983. It was once represented by NTR
himself and later for a term by his elder
son Nandamuri Harikrishna and
Balakrishna will be the third from the
family to represent State Assembly. [55]
