Nandamuri Balakrishna, who has been riding high on the anticipation for his upcoming mass entertainer NBK111, recently faced an unexpected setback.

What truly caught the industry's attention, however, was Jr NTR's gesture.

All eyes are now on NBK111's next schedule and the much-awaited on-screen comeback of the lion himself.
