It is a common phenomenon that big stars used to give special gifts to some key persons of the film unit whenever they bag a hit. Earlier, Nagarjuna gave a three-bed room deluxe flat to JK Bharavi as a special gift after the success of 'Sri Ramadasu'. Likewise, there was a gossip that Pawan Kalyan gifted away a costly diamond necklace to Parvati Melton after the success of 'Jalsaa'.
Now, it was the turn of JK Bharavi. It is reliably learnt that Balakrishna purchased a palatial three bedroom flat in Film Nagar and there was big rumour doing rounds that he had purchased the building only to be given away as gift to JK Bharavi.
It is worth mentioning here that Balakrishna had no notable hits to his credit for the past five years. His latest flick, 'Pandurangadu', the remake of a successful devotional film 'Panduranga Mahatmyam' is all set for release on May 28.
There were high expectations on the film and according to sources in the film unit, the film would be a bigger hit than 'Annamayya' and 'Sriramadasu'. In this backdrop, the purchase of a building by Balakrishna raised many an eyebrow and it was almost sure that he had bought it only to gift it away to someone in the film unit in general and JK Bharavi in particular.
