Legendary Actors like NTR and Krishna have wielded megaphone and even delivered memorable blockbusters. Whereas, The next generation heroes (Chiru, Balayya, Nag, Venky) who are known to be the four pillars of Tollywood refrained from taking the risk until now.
Balakrishna launched 'Nartanasala' under his director long back but the project got shelved after the untimely demise of Soundarya who was roped for essaying Draupadi. Finally, Nandamuri Hero made up his mind to helm NTR Biopic after Teja walked out of the prestigious project citing creative differences.
There were rumours of Chiranjeevi turning Director for Shankardada Series, Khaidi No.150 and Sye Raa but that never happened. Megastar always knew Direction is like carrying a heavy baggage and hence decided against wearing the Director's Hat.
On the other hand, Both Nagarjuna and Venkatesh were never interested in Direction. They are more than happy being Actors and doesn't want to increase the burden by taking any diversions.
Now, The question arises - 'Who is ready to accept #BalayyaChallenge in the Telugu Film Industry?'. Actually, None of the Heroes are in such frame of mind as of now. If Balayya delivers a successful film, It could start the trend of Heroes-turning-Directors in the Industry. Let's only wish Nata Simha doesn't disappoint..!
