Balakrishna has a special liking for Sankranthi festival. Most of his successful films were released for Sankranthi. His fans fondly address him as the Sankranthi King. In spite of few failures in the recent past, Balakrishna has released his latest film Dictator for this Sankranthi. It has clashed with three other films and did decent business in its first week.
Dictator was particularly good in Ceded and Godavari districts in spite of huge competition. There is a considerable drop in Dictator’s collections on week days and it still has a long way to go to be termed as a hit. However Balakrishna is happy with the way Dictator performed over the Sankranthi weekend. He is now planning to release his next film for Sankranthi too.
This is Balakrishna’s 100th film. Balakrishna chose to do a sequel to Aditya 369 as his landmark movie. Aditya 369 is one of the rarest Indian films in science fiction genre. The sequel is titled Aditya 999 and will be filmed within five months. As the film will have lot of VFX work, it will need more time for post production. As of now Balakrishna has reserved his berth for next Sankranthi. Let’s see who would be willing to lock horns with Balakrishna’s hundredth movie.
