After being awarded the Padma Bhushan, Nandamuri Balakrishna has recently achieved one more recognition. The World Book of Records, London, has included him in their Gold Edition for an extraordinary career spanning 50 years as a lead actor in Indian cinema. The actor was also lauded for his social contributions through the Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute.
Superstar Rajinikanth, who shares a close bond with the Nandamuri family, has now congratulated Balakrishna on his phenomenal achievement. Sharing a video byte, Rajini mouthed some of the iconic Balayya dialogues besides sharing the wishes.
Rajini said, “Fluteuu jinka mundhu oodhu simham mundhu kaadu. Kathhi tho kaadu ra kantichoopu tho champestha. These dialogues will hold beauty only if mouthed by Balayya. He is always surrounded by positivity. He distances himself from negativity. He always spreads happiness wherever he is. He competes with himself.”
The legendary actor added, “If Balayya Garu’s film does well, fans of all actors will feel happy. I convey my warm wishes as he successfully completed 50 glorious years in the film industry. I wish him continued success. Maybe keep entertaining audiences for another 25 years. I love you, Balayya. Thank you.”
