Of
late,
actor
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
is
passing
through
a
tough
time
and
his
recent
releases
like
Adhinayakudu,
Uu
Kodathara
Ulikki
Padathara
and
Srimannarayana
have
failed
to
do
expected
amount
of
collection
at
the
Box
Office.
Hence,
the
Telugu
actor
is
leaving
no
stone
to
make
his
next
outing
Legend
a
Blockbuster.
He
is
said
to
have
shed
some
pounds
for
this
much-awaited
movie.
Three
years
after
the
huge
success
of
Simha,
Balakrishna
has
once
again
teamed
up
with
director
Boyapati
Srinu
for
the
movie
Legend,
which
is
said
to
be
landmark
film
in
his
career.
The
actor
has
a
never-played-before
role
in
the
film
and
he
is
said
to
be
regularly
hitting
the
gym
and
following
strict
dieting
to
fit
into
his
character.
He
has
reportedly
shed
8
kg
weight
for
achieving
fresh
and
slim
look.
Sources
from
the
production
team
say
that
Balakrishna
will
be
seen
in
two
different
looks
in
the
movie
Legend,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
mass
action
entertainer.
Radhika
Apte
and
Sonal
Chauhan
are
playing
the
female
leads,
while
actress
Nadhiya
appears
in
a
crucial
role
in
the
film.
Jagapathi
Babu
is
doing
a
negative
role
in
the
movie,
which
will
have
the
music
of
Devi
Sri
Prasad,
who
is
scoring
music
for
the
first
time
for
Balayya's
film.
