Ahead of its grand multilingual release on June 19, Balan: The Boy has received another significant support, this time from Yuva Samrat Naga Chaitanya. After watching the film during a special screening, the actor shared his heartfelt reaction with the team, describing the thriller as an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Speaking about his first impression, Naga Chaitanya revealed that he initially assumed Balan: The Boy was a simple family drama centered on the bond between a mother and her son. However, the film quickly shattered those expectations. “After watching the first 10 to 15 minutes, I never expected the film would steer away in such a direction. It’s full of surprises,” he said.
The actor admitted that the story continued to stay with him long after the screening ended. “Even now, while talking about the film, I’m getting goosebumps. It remains with you even after you leave the theatre,” he remarked.
Naga Chaitanya praised the screenplay, highlighting how the narrative constantly surprises viewers with unexpected developments. He also applauded the combined efforts of writer Jithu Madhavan and director Chidambaram, stating that the writing, visuals, and music work together seamlessly.
The actor further noted the popularity of Manjummel Boys and Aavesham among Telugu audiences and expressed confidence that Balan: The Boy would join that successful list. His comments add to the growing excitement surrounding the thriller, which has already been praised by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan as one of the finest films he has seen in recent years.
Produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films, Balan: The Boy releases in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil on June 19. Annapurna studios releasing the film in Telugu States.
