Meet actor who was offered Rs 22 crore for 10 minute role, his film was blockbuster, earned Rs…, not Ranbir Kapoor, Prabhas, Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, he is…
While reading the information, many may think that the actor in discussion is Rajinikanth or Kamal Haasan. But, let us tell you, we are talking about none other than Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK).
NBK made his debut as a child artist at the age of 14 with the film Tatamma Kala (1974). In his career tenure, the actor has worked in more than 100 films. Some of the hit movies he did were Sahasame Jeevitham (1984), Janani Janmabhoomi (1984), Mangammagari Manavadu (1984), and Apoorva Sahodarulu (1986).
Recently, Nandamuri gained headlines when a report surfaced online claiming that the actor was allegedly offered a whopping Rs 22 crore for his 10-minute role in Rajinikanth's Jailer 2.
Nandamuri was last seen in Daaku Maharaaj, which turned out to be a huge blockbuster. The movie minted over Rs 136 crore worldwide and is the third highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025.
While Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK) has been a hit name in the South industry, he recently gained massive criticism. Last year, Nandamuri's video where he was seen brutally pushing away an actress on stage went viral, making fans criticize him to the core. Even after the incident, NBK never issued a statement nor apologized publicly.

Blind to rules? ‘Blind date' at Cubbon Park lands organiser in soup
BENGALURU: A planned 'Blind Date' event at Cubbon Park has come under scrutiny after the state horticulture department filed a complaint with the Cubbon Park Police Station against the organiser for not obtaining permission to host the event. The event, announced by 24-year-old Vineet Kathoria from Laggere, was listed on BookMyShow starting at Rs 999 and was scheduled to be held every Saturday and Sunday from August 2 to August 31, between 11 am and 1 pm. It invited participants to engage in anonymous, blindfolded conversations in the park, describing it as a space for 'meaningful exchanges without judgment'. Police sources told TNSE that Vineet, who had been pursuing a degree in computer science, had dropped out and is currently unemployed. The sudden online popularity of the event, which had already drawn interest from more than 1,400 people in less than 24 hours, prompted Kusuma G, Deputy Director of state Horticulture Department, Cubbon Park, to take note. Horticulture Department officials also mentioned that they will also check with BookMyShow, questioning how they allowed listing of an event at Cubbon Park without seeking prior permission.

Last Updated: Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, earned Rs 7.25 crore by day two. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, it faces competition from Son of Sardaar 2 and Saiyaara. Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, finally arrived in theatres on August 1 after several delays. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film follows a new love story and is a spiritual follow-up to the 2018 movie Dhadak. Although it started off slowly on day one, the box office numbers are improving. By the end of day two, Dhadak 2 has earned Rs 7 crore, according to Sacnilk. The film hasn't crossed Rs 10 crore yet, but there's still a chance for it to grow with the weekend audience. On day two, Dhadak 2 showed a slight bump at the box office, raking in Rs 3.75 crore. The film had opened with Rs 3.5 crore on its first day, and with this new figure, its total collection has now reached Rs 7.25 crore. While the numbers aren't huge, the film seems to be holding steady heading into the weekend. Dhadak 2 isn't having it easy at the box office. The film is facing tough competition from Son of Sardaar 2, which also released this week. The Ajay Devgn-starrer comedy sequel earned Rs 7.5 crore on its second day which is double of Dhadak 2's Day 2 collection. With this, Son of Sardaar 2's total now stands at Rs 14.5 crore. Meanwhile, Saiyaara continues to rule the box office in its third week. The romantic drama is all set to cross the Rs 300 crore mark by Sunday. Also holding strong is the animated mythological film Mahavtar Narasimha, which is doing very well in its second week. The film narrates the story of a law student who falls in love with his classmate, only to face harassment from her family due to caste differences. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, and backed by Dharma Productions, Zed Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, the romantic drama dives deep into themes of caste discrimination, love, and social resistance, offering a raw and emotionally charged cinematic experience. A spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak, this version is a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Alongside the lead pair, the film also features Zakir Hussain and Saurabh Sachdeva in pivotal roles. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
