Superstar Rajinikanth and  Nandamuri Balakrishna share a close bond. Previously, during an event celebrating of 100 years of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR), Thalaivar could not hold himself back from praising NBK. He said that NBK can do what neither Amitabh Bachchan nor he could ever do.

He said, “My friend (Balayya) kills with his single look. With a single eye blink, a vehicle can blast and go up to 30 feet high. It cannot be done by Rajinikanth, Amitabh, Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan. The public won’t accept it if we do that kind of stuff.”

He concluded, “If Balayya does that, the audience will accept it. The Telugu audience doesn’t see him as Balayya, they see late NTR in Balayya. He is a kind-hearted person. I pray to God that he will serve more in films and politics.”

To commemorate NBK’s milestone in the film industry, a grand celebration will take place today. The celebrations for the same will take place in Hyderabad. The event is going to be a star-studded affair, with several renowned personalities from the Telugu film industry expected to attend.

Allu Arjun, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Ram Charan and several other A-listers are expected to be in attendance at the event.
