Nandamuri fans have been waiting for a long time to see the two powerful actors from the family, Balakrishna and NTR sharing screen space in a film.
NTR's latest release 'Janatha Garage' would have become that much longed film but Mohan Lal was chosen for the second powerful role in the film. Many opined that the film would have become a much bigger hit if Balayya had played the role that Lal did. Speaking on the same, film's director Koratala Siva said that Balayya won't suit for the role.
Koratala explained valid reason for not approaching Balayya. 'The expectations would be gigantic if Balayya and NTR were cast in a film. People will forget the story and concentrate only on their combinational scenes which will hamper the film. Moreover, the role doesn't suit to Balayya's image,' Koratala reasoned.
Koratala was absolutely right. Mohan Lal played a sensible character in the film with no punch dialogues and heroism elevating scenes. Can the fans of Balayya digest him in such a submissive role?, absolutely not.
The wish of Nandamuri fans would only be fulfilled if both the actors get powerful roles, which is not impossible but almost impossible.
