Tollywood actor Balakrishna hopes for an Oscar

On Monday night the actor, along with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, organised a party for family and friends on the occasion of their grandson Nara Devansh’s one year birthday.

During the party Balakrishna was heard telling guests that he was eyeing the Oscars with his next film.

“In my next film I am playing the historic character of Gautamiputra Satakarni…I am growing a moustache for the role. I am confident that the film will definitely get an Oscar,” he was overheard saying.

Krish Jagarlamudi will be directing this period film based on King Satakarni, the Satavahana ruler whose capital was Amaravathi, at the site of the present day AP capital.
