Balakrishna’s Sri Rama Rajyam Audio Launch

Balakrishna’s latest movie Sri Rama Rajyam audio was launched on Monday evening at Badrachalam in a grand way. Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Ilayaraja, Balakrishna, Nayanathara, Bapu, Boyapati Srinu, Yalaminchili Saibabu and many other crew members and cine, political celebrities graced this event. 

Balakrishna launched the audio CD and ANR unveiled the logo of Sri Rama Rajyam. Thousands of Nandamuri fans were present at the audio launch. 

Speaking on this occasion Balakrishna said that Sri Rama Rajyam is a remake of classic Lava Kusa. “We didn’t have the courage to name this film Lava Kusa though. ANR uncle played the role of Valmiki in this movie. His presence added lot of strength to the film. Nayanthara did Seetha role and I may not have done this film if she hasn’t played this character,” Balakrishna said.

“Bapu and Ramana were the pillars for this movie right from the start. We miss Ramana garu but I feel his soul is lingering around here. Ilayaraja gave fantastic music to this film. Songs in this film will be as popular as Lava Kusa songs. Srikanth did the role of Lakshmana in this. I did this role with the inspiration given by my father. I think I have done justice to the given character,” Balakrishna stated. 

Nayanathara said that Balakrishna and Bapu are the reason for doing this film. Srikanth told that he always dreamed of acting with late NTR but that dream has finally come true by acting with his son in this film. “This film will give a feeling of going to a temple, Srikanth added. 

Ilayaraja praised so much about the greatness of Bapu, Ramana and said that Laila Majnu of ANR was his first inspiration and inclination towards music. Murali Mohan wished that this film would rewrite history. 

Akkineni said that he didn’t star in Lava Kusa film as he was offered Lakshmana’s role. “I didn’t do that film as that character didn’t have much importance in the film. I was asked to play Rama’s character but I denied doing. My personality doesn’t suit to play that role. Rama Rao is born to do such roles and it will be difficult for anybody to portray that role like him. Only Balakrishna can do that role among his contemporaries,” he said.
