Finding the right heroine for senior stars has become a daunting task these days. If these senior stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh get some young beauties in their 20s, widespread trolling is happening for their choices. However, after facing that remark for a couple of movies, even senior stars are going for 40+ aged and married beauties, to make sure that they don’t get trolled.

The latest buzz is coming from Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming 112th film, that they are in talks with a Bollywood diva for a crucial role. Already, it was announced that Koratala Siva will be directing #NBK112 and the film has some other casting like Sanjay Dutt as well. These days, taking a senior star from Bollywood has become the norm in Telugu movies after the likes of Bobby Deol, Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt has already done movies here. Right now, they are in talks with Vidya Balan for the role, say reports.

Earlier, Vidya Balan played the role of Nandamuri Basavatarakam, wife of legendary NT Rama Rao in the biopic film series, Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu, featuring Balakrishna in his father’s role. This will be the second such collaboration between Balakrishna and Balan if all things go well. While the actor is currently busy shooting for his 111th movie under Gopichand Malineni’s direction, very soon, Koratala’s film might go on the floors.

On the other hand, Balakrishna is in talks with other filmmakers like Vivek Athreya and Vijay Kanakamedala, and those projects will also get lined up very soon.
