Balakrishna, whose Gautamiputra Satakarni – marked his 100th release, has been a roaring success in the theatres. The film, based on the life of the 2nd century AD Satavahana ruler, also marked his return to the silver screen after two years.
Thus far, reports suggest that the Telugu actor has stalled filming for his 101th film Rhythu directed by Krishna Vamsi. The 56-year-old will reportedly play a 70-year-old farmer in the movie that also has Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan in a cameo.
