Nandamuri Balakrishna and Jr NTR were spotted sharing the same dais yesterday on the occasion of pre-release event of Kalyan Ram, Shailini Pandey and Nivetha Thomas starrer 118. But the pre release event of 118 was dull and pale because Nandamuri Balakrishna was not in good mood. It is known news that his recent offering, NTR Mahanayakudu is turning out disaster at the box office. That was the main reason that his mood was not good. Jr NTR and Kalyan Ram were also seen in serious mood. Balakrishna who has the habit to forget the movie titles, once again did the same. Instead of mentioning movie title as 118, every time, he mentioned the title as 189. Kalyan Ram and Jr NTR tried to correct Balakrishna’s mistake but Paisa Vassol star was in no mood to hear them.
Neither Jr NTR nor Balakrishna spoke about NTR Mahanayakudu. Jr NTR didn’t utter a word of praise on Balakrishna’s dream project NTR biopic, though he heaped praises, on Kalyan Ram for choosing the project 118.
118 is directed by KV Guhan and bankrolled by East Coast Productions, the film features Nivetha Thomas and ‘Arjun Reddy’ fame Shailini Pandey as female leads. Kalyan Ram is playing the investigative journalist. Noted producer-cum-distributor Dil Raju has acquired the theatrical rights of 118 in both the Telugu states.
