Nandamuri Balakrishna was on Monday conferred with the Padma Bhushan. Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan has issued a statement congratulating his fellow Kootami colleague.
"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Shri Nandamuri Balakrishna Garu, Member of the Legislative Assembly from Hindupur and prominent actor, on receiving the Padma Bhushan. Shri Balakrishna Garu holds a special place in the Telugu film industry. His style in historical, mythological, and folk roles greatly captivates the audience. I wish he achieves many more milestones in public service and artistic service," the Hari Hara Veera Mallu actor stated.
Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan, in 2023, were part of an Unstoppable talk-show episode. Balayya hosted it and the future Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh was the chief guest. The duo has always shared a healthy rapport.
