Balakrishna to join hands with Boyapati Srinu for political-action entertainer

Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu are gearing up to work together for the third time in an untitled film after the stupendous success of Simha and Legend. According to a source, Balakrishna may have a dual role in the film, billed to be a political-action entertainer.

"One of the two roles will present him as the Chief Minister. The film will go on floors in the second week of February after having a formal pooja ceremony," says a source.

Interestingly, Balayya is also playing the Chief Minister's role in NTR's biopic, Mahanayakudu. Directed by Krish, the film co-starring Vidya Balan and Rana Daggubati, will be released either on February 21 or 22.

On the other hand, Boyapati's last outing, Vinaya Vidheya Rama, released during Sankranti, has received a mixed response.
