Actor
Balakrishna,
the
undisputed
'Nata
Simha'
of
Telugu
cinema,
will
soon
be
seen
in
the
eagerly
awaited
Ruler,
directed
by
KS
Ravikumar.
The
film,
marking
the
mass
hero's
second
collaboration
with
the
top
director,
has
already
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
movie
buffs
and
this
indicates
that
things
are
headed
in
the
right
direction.
Now,
here
is
a
big
update
on
Ruler.
According
to
reports,
its
Ceeded
rights
have
been
sold
for
Rs
5.5
crore,
a
career-best
for
Balakrishna.
Ruler,
previously
known
as
'NBK
105',
marks
Balakrishna's
return
to
mass
cinema
after
nearly
two
years
and
this
seems
to
have
worked
in
its
favour.
The
film
has
also
piqued
the
curiosity
with
its
posters.
Moreover,
the
positive
response
to
NBK
and
KS
Ravikumar's
Jai
Simha,
which
collected
around
Rs
5
crore
in
Ceeded,
too
seems
to
have
indirectly
done
the
trick
for
Ruler,
making
it
hot
property
in
the
region
Interestingly,
none
of
the
recent
biggies
has
reached
even
break-even
in
Ceeded.
In
fact,
the
Pan-India
flick
Saaho
and
Mahesh
Babu's
Maharshi
are
considered
to
be
colossal
disappointments
in
the
area.
As
such,
Balakrishna's
big
achievement
might
end
up
haunting
him
in
the
long
run.
Coming
back
to
Ruler,
it
is
a
masala
entertainer
that
features
Balakrishna
in
two
different
avatars.
The
film
has
'Legend'
beauty
Sonal
Chauhan
and
Vedhika
as
the
leading
ladies.
It
is
likely
to
feature
plenty
of
'paisa
vasool'
action
sequences.
Ruler
is
slated
to
hit
screens
this
December.
Meanwhile,
Balakrishna
has
already
finalised
his
next
film.
After
Ruler
hits
screens,
he
will
begin
work
on
his
film
with
mass
director
Boyapati
Srinu,
being
referred
to
as
'NBK
106'.
The
movie,
touted
to
be
a
commercial
entertainer,
features
the
veteran
actor
in
a
youthful
look,
which
might
take
Tollywood
by
storm.
Bollywood
actor
Sanjay
Dutt
might
be
roped
in
to
play
the
baddie
in
NBK
106
and
might
add
a
new
dimension
to
the
film.
