A
few
days
ago,
it
was
reported
that
popular
actress
Roja
would
be
playing
a
negative
role
in
Balakrishna's
film
with
noted
director
Boyapati
Srinu
and
this
grabbed
plenty
of
attention.
Now,
it
seems,
the
powerhouse
performer
has
refused
to
take
up
the
movie,
being
referred
to
as
'NBK
106',
much
to
the
shock
of
all
concerned.
The
buzz
is,
she
was
not
happy
with
her
character
as
she
does
not
want
to
play
an
antagonist
at
this
stage
of
her
career.
Many
in
the
industry
feel
that
the
team
has
no
choice
but
to
look
for
another
actress.
However,
some
fans
feel
that
the
makers
of
NBK
106
might
decide
to
tweak
the
role,
convincing
the
actress-turned-politician
to
change
her
mind.
Either
way,
one
is
likely
to
get
some
clarity
on
this
in
the
coming
days.
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
NBK
106
is
a
mass
entertainer,
featuring
'Nata
Simha'
in
a
stylish
new
avatar.
It
is
likely
to
have
several
punch
dialogues
and
'elevation'
scenes.
The
grapevine
also
suggests
that
the
flick
will
be
massier
than
Balakrishna
and
Boyapari
Srinu's
previous
outings
(Simha
and
Legend).
Bollywood
star
Sanjay
Dutt
too
is
likely
to
be
part
of
NBK
106.
Meanwhile,
the
Nandamuri
hero
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Ruler,
helmed
by
Jai
Simha
director
KS
Ravikumar.
The
film,
featuring
the
veteran
actor
in
the
role
of
a
ferocious
cop,
has
created
a
fair
deal
of
buzz
among
the
target
audience
and
this
might
work
in
its
favour.
The
flick
stars
Sonal
Chauhan
and
Vedhika
as
the
leading
ladies,
indicating
it'll
be
high
on
glamour.
Ruler
is
slated
to
hit
screens
later
this
month
and
many
feel
that
it's
a
crucial
release
for
Balakrishna
as
his
last
two
outings
(NTR
Kathanayakudu
and
NTR
Mahanayakudu)
were
commercial
failures.
So,
will
NBK
bounce
back
with
his
upcoming
movies?
