It is quite rare for a Telugu film to fully capture the richness of Telangana – its traditions and culture – on the big screen. Balagam is a film rooted in Telangana’s culture. Priyadarshi starrer Balagam is winning the hearts of the movie lovers. While debutant director Venu Yeldandi beautifully captures the rituals and traditions of Telangana, the young and talented hero Priyadarshi delivers his best performance yet.
While Priyadarshi is acting as a comedian, but this time he played the role of hero. His latest film ‘Balagam’ is doing well at the box office. In a recent interview, Priyadarshi said, “One day I got a call from Dil Raju. When I got the call, I was shocked. Later Venu Yeldandi came and narrated a story, I started crying. I called Dil Raju garu and told him that I will do the film.”
Priyadarshi added, “However, on the day of the release of this film, the collections were not so much. The theater we went to was only half full. Me and Venu Yeldandi were very sad. We made a good film. But Dil Raju Garu said: It will take two days for people to come to the theatres. As said, this film is getting good collections at the box office.”
