Nandamuri Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni have teamed up for the first time. The film has begun the regular shoot.
On Monday, the first look of Balakrishna appearing in a mass-loaded avatar was unveiled.
Flaunting rudraksha mala on his neck, wearing a black shirt and brown panche, he looked stylish and massy.
However, netizens were quick to draw similarities with that of Kannada film, Mufti. Balakrishna’s look of #NBK107 has resembled Sivarajkumar’s “Mufti” getup.
Social media speculated that the film might be the remake of the Kannada movie. However, the makers have laid the rumors to rest by clarifying that it is a straight film.
Director Gopichand Malineni has written the story and screenplay. It is his story, not a remake.
