How Tarakaratna missed a chance to work with Balakrishna

21 Feb 2023 09:51 AM

Nandamuri Tarakaratna is sadly no longer with us. Incidentally, he narrowly missed out on the opportunity of sharing the screen with his loving uncle Balakrishna, whom he loved the most.

The director of Balakrishna’s next film, NBK108, Anil Ravipudi revealed that Tarakaratna was supposed to play a role in the film.

“One day, Balakrishna garu called me and asked me to pen a role for Tarakaratna garu. I liked the idea and started to work on it. But before we could work out something consolidated, the shocking reality has happened and Tarakaratna garu has passed away” Anil said.

The director added that Balakrishna insisted on casting Tarakaratna for an important role in NBK108 no matter what and he too was inclined towards the idea but sadly, this didn’t materialize.

Tarakaratna passed away at a young age due to brain non functioning. He is one of the most loved members of the Nandamuri family.
