The
audio
launch
event
of
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
starrer
Jai
Simha,
which
happened
over
the
weekend
was
more
similar
to
a
political
meeting
with
a
lot
of
political
stakeholders
than
that
of
a
cinema
event.
At
the
grand
event
which
was
organised
in
Amaravathi,
a
lot
of
interesting
throwbacks,
video
song
snippets
and
trailer
were
made
available
live
making
the
fans
of
Nandamuri
go
ecstatic
throughout
the
evening.
Trailer
Launch
The
evening
had
a
surprise
trailer
launch.
The
1:55
minute
long
trailer
is
full
of
action
and
heavy
dialogues,
something
which
Balayya
is
trademarked
for.
However,
the
same
has
not
been
quite
well
received
by
the
social
media
folks
as
the
trailer
has
garnered
over
3.3
Million
views
with
37k
likes
and
15k
dislikes.
KS
Ravikumar
One
of
the
best
commercial
directors
of
Tamil
cinema,
who
had
recently
tested
his
waters
in
Kannada
industry
with
Sudeep
successfully,
is
now
trying
his
luck
at
Telugu
cinema.
Ravikumar
managed
to
address
the
crowd
with
his
crisp
speech
and
decent
Telugu,
thanked
the
entire
set
of
cast
and
crew
who
had
rendered
their
best
to
Jai
Simha.
CK
Kalyan
Kalyan
seemed
very
confident
about
his
product,
Jai
Simha,
and
assured
the
audience
that
the
entire
cast
and
crew
would
stamp
their
impact
in
the
minds
of
the
audience.
Jai
Simha
was
a
long
pending
desire
of
Kalyan
as
his
previous
combination
with
Balayya,
Paramaveer
Chakra,
was
set
in
the
patriotic
backdrop
and
wanted
to
make
a
movie
with
a
complete
mass
and
commercial
plot
for
the
fans.
Kalyan,
under
CK
Entertainments
banner
would
be
releasing
the
movie
on
his
own
without
striking
any
deal
with
any
of
the
distribution
houses
in
order
to
reap
in
rich
dividends
and
donate
some
of
the
earned
money
to
Balakrishna's
Cancer
Institute.
Nara
Lokesh
The
IT
Minister
of
Andhra
Pradesh
and
son-in-law
of
Balakrishna
was
the
Chief
Guest
of
the
event.
Lokesh
introduced
himself
with
his
mother's
name
prefix,
much
similar
to
the
style
of
Gauthami
Putra
Satakarni.
Lokesh
spoke
high
about
Balakrishna,
his
fans
and
the
bonding
they
share
between
each
other.
He
affirmed
that
Balakrishna
is
seen
as
a
record
creator
and
the
same
had
been
proved
in
previous
instances
such
as
Narasimha
Naidu,
Samarasimha
Naidu,
Simha,
Legend
and
Gauthami
Putra
Satakarni.
The
muddu
bidda
of
Nandamuri
clan
was
also
awestruck
at
Balayya's
energy.
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
As
usual,
the
second
torch
bearer
of
Nandamuri
family
had
an
extended
interaction
with
the
media
and
fans
through
his
24-minute-long
speech.
Remembering
the
fact
that
the
title
Jai
Simha,
was
the
lucky
mascot
for
his
father,
the
great
NTR,
Balakrishna
believed
that
the
title
would
bring
in
the
same
charm
to
him
as
well.
Reciting
Sanskrit
chants
and
giving
a
gist
of
his
music
knowledge,
Balayya
thanked
Chirantan
Bhat,
the
music
director
of
Jai
Simha,
who
had
rendered
music
for
Gauthami
Putra
Satakarni,
as
well.
The
actor
also
reminisced
the
fact
that
both
Ravikumar
and
himself,
were
supposed
to
collaborate
quite
some
long
time
back
but
destined
brought
them
together
for
Jai
Simha.
He
thanked
the
entire
crew
and
his
fans
specifically
for
being
his
backbone
all
these
years.
Jai
Simha
stars
Balakrishna,
Nayanthara,
Haripriya,
Murali
Mohan
and
Prakash
Raj
in
the
lead
roles.
Ratnam
has
penned
the
story
for
the
movie
while
KS
Ravikumar
has
called
action
cut
for
the
flick.
The
movie
is
all
set
to
release
on
January
12,
on
the
occasion
of
Sankranti.
