It is known to our readers that Shriya Saran is selected as the female lead in Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Prestigious 100th film, Gautamiputra Satakarani. Due to the lack of offers from Telugu, Shriya sees the project as a lifeline to her career and immediately agreed for it. The actress was only paid 35 Lakhs for the film which is on par with new heroines like Raashi Khanna.
This is the second time the actress is romancing Balakrishna after Chenna Keshava Reddy during the early years of her career. The actress will join the team in the next schedule. Two schedules of the movie are complete and Balakrishna is currently on a US tour. The next schedule of the film will begin once he is back. Mokshagna will play an Assistant director to Krish for the movie. This is to ensure that he has a good understanding of all the crafts in film making by the time of his filmy debut.
Gautamiputra Satakarani is being planned for January 12th, 2017 release as Sankranthi Special. The team wants to release the first Look of the film on June 10th as Balakrishna’s Birthday. Devi Sri Prasad is composing music for this film. This is his second time for Balayya after Legend.
