Nandamuri Balakrishna is aiming for a legendary film to make his film career stable. His 'Legend' is a work in progress and is going in Mahesh's Nenokkadine direction to ensure a hit. No, there are no similarities in the content of both film, as Balakrishna is giving a satirical but powerful entertainer, whereas Mahesh is coming up with a suspense thriller.
The similarities lie in the choice of locations for both films. The team of Legend are planning to follow Mahesh's Nenokkadine team to Bangkok. Mahesh and team are currently wrapping up their Bangkok schedule, only to have Balayya's team take their place. It is heard that the makers of Legend are leaving no stone unturned to make a good looking film. Boyapati Sreenu is focused on churning out a good product this time, as Balakrishna's popularity cannot be compared right now with Mahesh's wide reach.
Additionally, the budgets of both films have hit the roof and aiming for the skies. To call them a hit, Both Legend and Nenokkadine have to rake in crores of cash at the box office. Unfortunately, Mahesh and Balakrishna are coming head to head next January, leaving little space for any movie to spread its wings.
Also, both films are taking shape on the 14 Reels Entertainment banner. Whether it is Legend director Boyapati vs Nenokkadine director Sukumar or Balakrishna vs Mahesh Babu for this Sankranthi, developments would be eagerly followed by fans of both teams.
