Top hero Balayya is all set to try different styles of directors especially younger ones recently. He is looking forward to work with a crazy director who is in a bad phase of career.
NBK teaming up with flop directors
After Gautamiputra Satakarni, Balayya teamed up with the flop director Puri for his 101st flick. Crazily for his 102nd flick, he is back into his old genre of faction under the director K S Ravi Kumar. Incidentally, Ravi Kumar has been facing lean phase in his career. Even before the completion of 102nd, he is planning his 103rd flick with the director Harish Sankar. Even for imaginations, this combination is highly crazy and fresh for the movie lovers.
So we have to wait and see what type of story and script will Harish prepare for Balayya. Also, the fans are excited to see how Harish present this Nandamuri Lion.
The success of Gautamiputra Satakarni is held back a bit with the recent raids by Income Tax Department of India on its producers and distributors.
IT Raids on GPS Team
As producers are still keeping their mouths shut, the Income Tax officers have a glance at the movie’s performance. It’s been three weeks since its release, and there were no official figures announced by anyone. So the IT has raided the film producer Sai Baba along with Krish’s office and the main Nizam distributor Sudhakar Reddy for unaccounted cash. The movie was made with a budget of Rs 45 crores, and the share is close to 50 crores. Moreover, the film got Tax exemption from both the Telugu states.
Another movie ‘Khaidi No: 150’ has breached 100 crores of share but the makers kept revealing the figures every now and then to avoid raids. However, there is no official information regarding the results of these raids. The film has entered the profit zone in all the areas.
Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No 150 and Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th film Gautamiputra Satakarni released this Pongal season. The films are doing well at the box office and the Sankranthi season has got the right start. Meanwhile, both the films released in many other countries. We already knew that they are running successfully in the USA. Meanwhile, Gautamiputra Satakarni is lagging a week ahead in Gulf countries. The distributors are screening Khaidi No 150 everywhere as there are profits for the film.

They have decided to screen Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni in a gap of seven days. The Telugu Association of Dubai has taken initiation to screen the film Gautamiputra Satakarni. We are awaiting the confirmation on the same from the distributors over there. Meanwhile, the film unit of Gautamiputra Satakarni are busy promoting the film in the USA.
For all the Mega and Nandamuri fans who were fighting in Social media, there is some hot news. Balayya’s latest comment on Megastar Chiranjeevi explains everything.
NBK and Chiranjeevi
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th landmark flick ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ and Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th comeback flick ‘Khaidi No: 150’ have released for Sankranthi. Hopefully, both the movies are faring well at box office. But still both the fan groups have been fighting in social networks. But Balayya in one of his recent interviews has said that Chiranjeevi is the only closest friend he has in Industry. He even said that healthy competition is necessary for working hard. He expressed his happiness over the success of all the films released for Sankranthi.
This comment has added more strength to Chiru’s comment which states that Balayya is one of his best friends. With these comments, it is so clear that the heroes are so happy with their relationship, but the problem is with the fans.

Many movies come and go which are targeted just to entertain audience with songs, fights and some other high moments. It’s very rare that we got to watch movies based on us i.e. our own history, which we are unaware of like Jodha Akbar, Bajirao Mastani in Hindi and Rudhramadevj in Telugu. Now we are witnessing another one in the name of Gauthamiputra Satakarni which is also a landmark film in Nandamuri Bala Krishna career and prestigious project for Krish who is making small budgeted movies. This movie is said to be based on the life story of a king who is unknown and celebrated least among Telugu people. This movie has already a high level of expectations for its trailer and making. Let’s see how it works on us!
Story
Gautamiputra Satakarni Movie Review
Satakarni (Balakrishna) is a son who is well pampered by his mother and is well known for his love towards his mother and everyone underestimates him quoting him as mother’s son who is not meant to battlefield. As a child he misses his father who goes on wars and asks his mother about that. She says that his father went to win other emperor’s. He then vows to her mother that he is going to create a single big empire uniting all the small regions, spreading peace. This has become his life motive and how he achieved that motive forms the rest of the story.
Cast and Performance
Nandamuri Balakrishna is intense and ferocious as Satakarni. He is at his best carrying the movie on his shoulders. His performance is praiseworthy and his dialogues are ear feast for audience. Shriya Saran is apt as Vasisti Devi and has given nice performance. Hemamalini as Gauthami Balasri is superb. She is well fit for the role. Kabir Bedi as Nahapana is nice. Each and every actor did their best to make characters on paper come alive.
Writing Department
Gautamiputra Satakarni Balakrishna New Poster
Gauthamiputra Satakarni story is about Satakarni and his achievements. Screenplay is engaging and dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra are superb and he deserves a lot to mention when anyone talks about this movie. This might be his career defining movie and put him in top league of writers.
Technical Departments
Tunes rendered by Chiranthan Bhatt are good and they are more highlighted with the lyrics by Seetharama Sastry and his background score is more intense and elevating. He definitely delivered his best in background score. Cinematography by Gnanasekhar is terrific and his knack for visuals is an added advantage and presented delightful visuals. Editing is perfect and crisp. War sequences are well composed and are high moments for fans. Production values are grand.

Verdict
When the trailer of Gauthamiputra Satakarni released every is amazed with the quality and content and raised expectations. Movie is also nothing less than that in terms of quality and its content. This movie is all about Satakarni, pride of Telugu speaking people and his achievements which are unknown to majority of Telugu people. Director Krish made this movie on a grand scale with amazing quality in not so high budget for its genre and in a very short span of time. He is going to go places with this movie. The way he showed Balakrishna as Satakarni is superb and the dialogues he got from Sai Madhav Burra’s pen are superb. No other director used Sai Madhav Burra’s talent like him and coming days are going to be very busy for Sai Madhav. Gauthamiputra Satakarni is an epic and glorifying tale of a less celebrated king which has many moments to give goosebumps to audience.
The film Gautamiputra Satakarni is releasing tomorrow worldwide. Already, the premieres have been confirmed and there is a lot of interesting buzz going on around the film. The film stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in the title role playing Satakarni, an Andhra ruler who ruled the entire country. Also, the film also stars Shriya Saran playing Vashisthi Devi, who is Satakarni’s wife. Another crucial role is being played by Hema Malini and she plays Balakrishna’s mother in this movie. She plays Gautami in the movie. The fans are eager to witness Balakrishna’s performance on the screen tomorrow.

Mega Star Chiranjeevi has been revealing interesting points and commenting on everything in his ongoing interviews for ‘Khaidi No: 150’. In one of those interviews, he shared his view on Balakrishna movie.
Chiru
The film Gautamiputra Satakarni has got the tax exemption from the government of Andhra Pradesh. But the same government has rejected the request of Gunasekhar for his ‘Rudramadevi’ in the past. When the interviewer asked this issue, Chiru once again showed his maturity. Chiru said that giving tax exemptions for such historical films is a nice gesture. But at the same time, Chiru opined that AP should have had given tax exemption to Rudramadevi as well to do complete justice. His point is indeed laudable for speaking his heart out.
At the end, he said Balayya is his friend and colleague. So he wished all the very best for the success of ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ which is releasing tomorrow in a huge manner.
The pre-release Promotions of the prestigious 100th film of Nandamuri Balakrishna titled ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ have been in full-swing.
