This
January,
actor-politician
Balakrishna
received
the
shock
of
a
lifetime
when
NTR
Kathanayakudu
opened
to
an
ordinary
response
at
the
box
office
and
turned
out
to
be
a
dud.
The
film,
based
on
the
life
of
former
Andhra
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
NTR,
lacked
a
mass
connect
and
this
proved
to
be
its
undoing.
A
month
later,
the
'Nata
Simha'
suffered
another
major
setback
when
NTR
Mahanayakudu
sank
without
a
trace
and
proved
to
be
the
biggest
flop
in
the
history
of
Tollywood.
Now,
NBK
is
in
the
limelight
once
again.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
Balakrishna
might
soon
team
up
with
'Angry
Star'
Rajasekhar
for
the
Telugu
remake
of
the
Tamil
hit
Vikram
Vedha
which
featured
Madhavan
and
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
the
lead.
One
is
likely
to
get
a
clearer
picture
of
who
is
playing
which
character
in
the
days
to
come.
Vikram
Vedha,
directed
by
Pushkar
and
Gayathri,
was
one
of
the
biggest
sleeper
hits
of
2017
and
proved
to
be
a
landmark
film
for
VJS
and
Maddy.
Remaking
it
in
Telugu
will
not
be
an
easy
task.
As
such,
if
NBK
and
Rajasekhar
take
up
the
project,
they
are
going
to
have
their
work
cut
out
for
them.
Meanwhile,
Rajasekhar
is
currently
working
on
Prashanth
Varma's
Kalki
which
features
him
in
a
massy
avatar.
On
the
other
hand,
Balakrishna
is
busy
with
his
political
commitments.
He
is
likely
to
begin
work
on
his
Boyapati
Srinu
movie
after
the
Elections.
