In what can be said as a big surprise, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s son, Mokshagna, who is expected to make his silver screen debut as an actor, will be working as an assistant director to Krish for Gauthamiputra Satakarni. During a couple of recent media interactions, Balakrishna hinted that Mokshagna will make his debut in 2017. There were also rumours that he will play a role in Balakrishna’s 100th film,but there was no truth in the news.

The latest update confirms that Mokshagna will be assisting Krish in the direction department. In fact, this is a good decision by the youngster to get complete knowledge about the craft before making his silver debut. The regular shooting of Gauthamiputra Satakarni will kick-start in a few days in Morocco. A heavy duty war episode will be shot in Morocco for nearly 40 days.

First Frame Entertainment banner is producing this high budget historical film. Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer.
