Nandamuri Balakrishna
NBK108, in the deadly combination of God Of Masses Nata Simham Nandamuri Balakrishna, blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi, and successful producers Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi of Shine Screens, gets a powerful title- 'Bhagavanth Kesari'. It's the character name of Balakrishna in this first-of-its-kind actioner and the caption âI Don't Care' indicate his unrestrained attitude.
The title logo is designed strikingly with the state emblem of India (the Lion Capital of Ashoka) interleaved in it. Balakrishna sports a salt-and-pepper look and his dressing style is completely different. He wears a brown colour kurta and formal pants with a stole around his neck. We can see a bracelet and a watch on his hands. In the poster, Balakrishna is seen sitting on his knee and hitting a deadly weapon on the ground to his aggression. The background and Balakrishna's expression designate this picture is from a huge action sequence.
Through the film, Anil Ravipudi is presenting Balakrishna in a never-seen-before get-up and character. Like the title, the poster too grabs our attention. The producers have opted for vigorous promotions and they unveiled the title poster in a unique manner. The makers have installed108 hoardings of the title posters in 108 different locations. That's not all. There are other surprises in store for Balakrishna's birthday which falls on June 10.
