Nandamuri Balakrishna is one of the leading actors in Tollywood and with young actors giving tough competition the actor has been busy with back to back films. He inched the magical mark of 100th movie which has been titled as Gautamiputra Satakarni and is currently under shoot. Balakrishna’s biggest hit in his career Legend collected Rs 40 crores which is decent. However with the wide expansion of Tollywood market across the globe, many filmmakers have been taking huge risk.

Gautamiputra Satakarni is said to be a periodic drama and it needs lavish budget. The movie is being made on a massive budget of Rs 70 crores which is huge when compared to the highest grossed Balakrishna’s movie Legend. The makers have been quite confident on the project and invested huge money considering Balakrishna who can impress the crowds with his tremendous performance. Balakrishna will now need to pull the crowds and impress the audience big time to recover the investments of Gautamiputra Satakarni.

Directed by Krish, Gautamiputra Satakarni features Shriya Saran in the female lead and is bankrolled by First Frame Entertainments.
