Balakrishna’s 100th film is his most prestigious ever not just because it’s a landmark film but also because it will be a never told before story of the erstwhile Telugu ruler Gautamiputra Satakarni. And we hear that the actor is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the film looks as authentic as possible.
Launched on the occasion of Ugadi, the film’s regular shoot will commence soon. To be directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film’s pre-production work has already begun. And Balakrishna is said to be going all out to get the look right.
The actor is going to don costumes which will be designed to suit the sensibilities of those times. Also, he has decided not to use artificial jewellery and instead authentic gold and silver jewellery is being customised for the actor.
Some well-known jewellers from the two Telugu speaking states have been approached for the same. Meanwhile, Kajal Aggarwal has been approached to play the female lead in the film for which Devi Sri Prasad will render tunes.
