Director Calls Balakrishna Without Respect

Nandamuri Balakrishna is just Unstoppable with his maiden OTT show, Unstoppable with NBK on Aha Video. The show is getting so much positive response from all quarters for Balakrishna’s spontaneity and quirkiness. Aha Video released the episode with the Liger team as Sankranthi Special.

The episode showcases how Puri Jagannadh got too close with Balakrishna with just one film, Paisa Vasool. Balakrishna calls him Jaggu and Puri Jagannadh surprisingly was so informal and addresses the star as ‘Bala’. Charmee also calls him ‘Bala’ without any strings like ‘Garu’, ‘Meeru’ etc.

Puri Jagannadh and Charmee may be the only ones who called Balakrishna as such in this show or for that matter anywhere. Only his contemporaries like Chiranjeevi or Nagarjuna may have called Balakrishna so informally. So, this came as a surprise. Probably, that is also an indication of how one can get so close to Balakrishna if the wavelength matches.

Vijay Deverakonda who also attended the show, however, is seen calling Balakrishna with respect.
