Balakrishna to be the chief guest for ‘Shiva Vedha’ Telugu pre-release event

Shivarajkumar’s ‘Vedha’ is having a Telugu dub release grandly and a pre-release event is also being organized in a big way to make the event more memorable. Interestingly, Balakrishna is going to grace the event as the chief guest and the Telugu version which is titled as ‘Shiva Vedha’, will be released on February 9.
Fans of Balakrishna will come in huge numbers at the event to witness the grand announcement and especially the actor’s speech which is expected at the event. Balakrishna and Shivarajkumar’s connection roots back to their father’s generation as NTR and Rajkumar were contemporaries and were seen as demigods of Telugu and Kannada cinema. NTR and Rajkumar share a long-standing friendship since their beginning days and it carried on with Balakrishna and Shivarajkumar also. The friendship of Balakrishna and Shivarajkumar is so well known as Shivarajkumar played a guest role as Kalahasteeshwara in Balakrishna’s 100th film ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ and Balakrishna was the chief guest for Shivarajkumar’s ‘Mass Leader’ audio launch.
The makers released a poster of Balakrishna as the chief guest for the pre-release addressing Balakrishna with respect as ‘garu’ which didn’t go well with Kannada netizens asking the makers to use the Kannada language than Telugu which led to the makers deleting the poster itself. ‘Vedha’, the 125th film of Shivarajkumar, was released in December and went on to become a super hit and the combo of Shivarajkumar and director A Harsha came out victorious fourth time after ‘Vajrakaya’, ‘Bhajarangi’ and ‘Bhajrangi 2’. Shivarajkumar was very much appreciated for his role and for giving so much scope for the female characters to lead the story. This revenge drama set up in two time periods was appreciated by the audience and turned out to be a memorable outing for Shivarajkumar in his 125th film produced by his wife Geetha Shivarajkumar.
