Balakrishna's 'Daku Maharaj' Teaser Sparks Curiosity – Is This the Story Behind His Three Intense Roles?
Nandamuri Balakrishna, a name synonymous with mass entertainers in Tollywood, has been delivering a string of hits with his recent mass entertainers. Currently, he is working on a film with director Bobby, known as NBK 109. The film team recently announced the title as 'Daku Maharaj' and released a gripping teaser that gave goosebumps to Nandamuri fans. However, the title and teaser alone subtly reveal the plot of the film. Let's take a closer look.
What’s in the Teaser?
Produced under the banner of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamshi, the upcoming film 'Daku Maharaj' featuring actor Balakrishna and directed by Bobby is set to be a Sankranthi release on January 12, 2025. The released teaser starts with the dialogue, "This story isn’t about gods who spread light, nor about demons who dominate darkness, not even about Ravana who played with demons. This story is about a king who waged wars without a kingdom, a Yama wielding a mighty axe, a Maharaja who terrified even death itself." The visuals and dialogues delivered by Balakrishna in the teaser promise an intense action-packed narrative. Fans are excited, anticipating another mass spectacle from Balakrishna.

Inspired by Daku Mansingh...
The role of 'Daku Maharaj' played by Balakrishna is reportedly based on the real life of a person. Moviegoers are curious about who this 'Daku Maharaj' could be. His real name is known to be Daku Mansingh, a famous dacoit from the Punjab and Chambal regions. Amitabh Bachchan once mentioned in an interview that he was quite fearful of Mansingh’s robberies and his ability to escape during his childhood. It’s notable that Mansingh didn’t use the stolen wealth for himself but distributed it among the poor, according to the locals from Chambal.

Is This the Story?
The recent teaser suggests that director Bobby has crafted Balakrishna’s film inspired by the famous dacoit Daku Mansingh. This implies that in the film, Balakrishna's character will likely stand with the people, targeting those who exploit and rob them. He seems poised to cleverly redistribute the wealth taken from the oppressors back to the people. The story is also said to reflect three different eras, raising the question of whether Daku Maharaj will be a central figure throughout the film or just part of one segment.

Balakrishna in Three Roles...
After the superhit 'Bhagavanth Kesari', Balakrishna is back in 'Daku Maharaj', featuring alongside Pragya Jaiswal, Chandini Chowdary, and Shraddha Srinath. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol will appear in a key role, and a leading actor from the Malayalam film industry is also expected to join the cast. The story will reportedly show Balakrishna in three different aspects, promising another level of action sequences. S.S. Thaman is composing the music for this film.

Venkatesh’s Sankranti Treat: Hilarious Gun Mishap on Set, Big Box Office Clash Looms!
Veteran actor Venkatesh is starring in the film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, directed by the talented Anil Ravipudi. The movie features young heroine Meenakshi Chaudhary as Venkatesh's co-star, with Aishwarya Rajesh playing a significant second lead. Produced by Dil Raju, the film is set to release on January 14, 2025, as a Sankranti treat. Recently, the team held a press meet where director Anil Ravipudi shared an interesting incident from the film's shoot.
"Accidentally Pointed a Real Gun"
Tamil actor VTV Ganesh, who won the hearts of Telugu audiences with his single dialogue "Evarraa Nuvvu Intha Talented?" in Beast, plays a key role in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. During the press meet, Anil Ravipudi shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment from the set involving VTV Ganesh. He recounted, "Ganesh sir asked me if I knew what a real gun felt like. Senior actor Naresh, who was on set, brought out his licensed gun. Without realizing it was loaded, I jokingly pointed it at Ganesh sir's head at point-blank range. Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot.
