Nandamuri Balakrishna has been making huge noise with his energetic performance in Paisa Vasool. Despite the poor narration and content, it is Balayya’s performance which saved the film to an extent. At the same time, he’s also spotted promoting the film like never before in his career.
Sharing his thoughts on Rana Daggubati’s debut TV show ‘No1 Yaari’, he shared quite interesting stuff. When asked if he regrets doing a particular film in his career, without taking much time, Balayya replied that it was Okka Magadu. He even revealed that he felt bad about this film several times in his career. He said that Kamal Haasan essayed the same role in Shankar’s Bharatheeyudu fighting against corruption but for him, it didn’t work.
Despite many debacles in Balakrishna’s career, Okka Magadu will stand as one of the biggest disappointments due to over-board content that lacks any coherence. YVS Chowdary who directed and produced the movie has been badly criticised for this film, and moreover, the film marked the downfall in his career. Simran and Anushka played the female leads in the movie which released in 2008 and the memories still haunt Nandamuri fans as well.
This is not the first time Balakrishna revealed about the debacle of Okka Magadu in public events as he spoke about it many times. Currently, he’s shooting for his next movie under the direction of KS Ravikumar which will release during Sankranthi next year.
