Another feast for Balayya fans in the pipeline, but will this cameo make an impact?

Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently stealing space on social media. Not for his tweets, of course, but for his dialogues that reverberate with ultra-decibel sound.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently stealing space on social media. Not for his tweets, of course, but for his dialogues that reverberate with ultra-decibel sound. His new release in theatres, ‘Akhanda’, has prompted a flurry of activity on social media with his fans pushing as much as content possible from selfies to short videos soon after the film’s release.

Now the latest news is that Balayya reportedly played a cameo in Vijay Deverakonda-starrer ‘Liger’. Earlier, it was speculated that Balayya is lending his voice to American boxing icon Mike Tyson, who is playing a short role in the film. Now, it has turned out to be false.

It may be recalled that Balakrishna recently visited the film sets of ‘Liger’ in the USA where he happened to meet the cast and crew while conveying his wishes to the entire team. Although it looked like a casual visit, it is learnt that he is actually playing a cameo in the film.

Puri Jagannadh has a good association with Balayya as he earlier directed the movie ‘Paisa Vasool’ a few years ago. The closeness between them is what made Balakrishna agree to play a cameo in ‘Liger’. A five-minute cameo might work out well for the film, but the underlying question is – will it give the required high for Balayya’s fans?

However, fans would not get to see Balayya on-screen anytime soon as ‘Liger’ is scheduled to release in theatres in April next year.
