Nandamuri Balakrishna is in the form of his life as an actor. His OTT debut as a talk show host for Unstoppable with NBK across two seasons was a raging success while he scored two consecutive hits in the form of Akhanda and Veera Simha Reddy recently. He’s next teaming up with Anil Ravipudi for an action entertainer titled Bhagavanth Kesari, whose teaser was launched today.

Commemorating the star’s birthday, a new project was announced as well. He is joining forces with Waltair Veerayya, Power director Bobby Kolli for a violent actioner. S Naga Vamsi, in collaboration with Sai Soujanya (Trivikram’s wife), is bankrolling the film under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas.
