Esperanza:KT: You have been an important part of the political scene in Andhra Pradesh for the last 30 years. How do you think it has changed over the years?
NBK: Well, there has been a visible change for sure. My father NT Rama Rao and brother-in-law Chandra Babu Naidu ruled as chief ministers for more than 17 years over the last 30 years. There were no instances of any abuse of power but these days, none of my family members are involved in official procedures. Today, every newspaper is filled with corruption cases, inquiries and so on. Unfortunately Telugu Desam Party lost power twice and this turned out to be a big disaster for the state and resulted in uninhibited corruption. People have been observing this. About seven or eight years ago, Andhra Pradesh was an icon and reflected the development taking place in India. Now, we are sorry to say that the condition is quite bad in many aspects. For this reason, Telugu Desam party will definitely come back to power soon.

Popular Indian film star set to complete 100 movies
lifestyle31 Popular Indian film star set to complete 100 moviesKUWAIT: Social services are the responsibility of every artist, says Nandamuri Bala Krishna, an artiste, actor and political activist from India. “I feel this,” he says during an exclusive interview with the Kuwait Times during his three-day visit to Kuwait this week.
Nadamuri Bala Krishna, also popularly known as ‘Balayya’ and ‘NBK’ by fans and admirers alike, is the son of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and Telugu film legend. He starred in many critical and commercial films and established himself as one of the leading contemporary actors of Telugu cinema.
In addition to films, Balakrishna is associated with several philanthropic and social organizations activities. He campaigned for the Telugu Desam Party during many elections, and is the Chairman of the Board of Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute. He was also the Chief Guest at ‘Simha Gharjana Mega Musical Night Program’ which was organized by Pravasaandhra Telugu Desam, NBK Seva Samithi on the evening of April 6. Excerpts from the tete-a-tete:
KT: How has your visit to Kuwait been so far?
NBK: I am very happy to visit Kuwait. The Telugu community which is residing in Kuwait has been extremely warm and hospitable. I am very proud to see more than 250,000 Telugu people living together and participating in so many social, cultural and welfare activities. It gives me great joy to see this and wish our Telugu people will stay united always.
KT: What would you like to convey during this visit?
NBK: We can survive and thrive anywhere in the world because of our work and business. We came here with the purpose of making a living and must respect Kuwait’s system and laws. Also as humans, we have to fulfill our responsibilities.
KT: We hear that you have been spending more time on social service, is this true?
NBK: Yes, it’s true. Social service is the responsibility of every artiste. My father who was the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh apart from a legendary Telugu film star used to tell me the same. He practiced what he preached and initiated many welfare activities as a film star. He reacted spontaneously to people’s problems and national calamities. I’m just walking in his footsteps. I have been spending time on the Telugu film industry welfare programs and Basava Tarakam Memorial Censer Hospital activities apart from fund-raising events.
KT: Tell us more about your political participation.
NBK: I have announced my participation in the upcoming 2014 elections. I will contest on behalf of the Telugu Desam Party.
KT: You have been an important part of the political scene in Andhra Pradesh for the last 30 years. How do you think it has changed over the years?
NBK: Well, there has been a visible change for sure. My father NT Rama Rao and brother-in-law Chandra Babu Naidu ruled as chief ministers for more than 17 years over the last 30 years. There were no instances of any abuse of power but these days, none of my family members are involved in official procedures. Today, every newspaper is filled with corruption cases, inquiries and so on. Unfortunately Telugu Desam Party lost power twice and this turned out to be a big disaster for the state and resulted in uninhibited corruption. People have been observing this. About seven or eight years ago, Andhra Pradesh was an icon and reflected the development taking place in India. Now, we are sorry to say that the condition is quite bad in many aspects. For this reason, Telugu Desam party will definitely come back to power soon.
KT: You are very straightforward; do you think this is appropriate in politics? Are you confident of your success in politics?
NBK: Yes, I am. Even my father was very straightforward and he went on to create history. His empathetic attitude helped him understand people better and thus made him iconic in Indian politics. My father never cared about his critics and I am the same. We have our own manifesto.
KT: You have completed 92 movies and are currently working on a few more films. Can we expect 100 movies shortly?
NBK: Definitely! I will surely complete 100 movies in Telugu very soon.
KT: Tell us more about your upcoming film ‘Adhinayakudu’.
NBK: ‘Adhinayakudu’ will be a blockbuster in the Telugu Industry. I played three different roles as a grandfather, father, and grandson for the first time on screen. I am certain that Adhinayakudu will be the biggest hit.
KT: Which is the movie you are most proud of?
NBK: I am proud of all my movies and have done many mythological, historical, social and fantasy films.
KT: When is your son Moshagna entering films?
NBK: He still has time. He has another five years of studies to complete before thinking of joining films.
