At the launch of his 100th Movie at Annapurna Studios Today, Balakrishna claimed he and Gautamiputra Satakarni are one and the same in few aspects. 'Both Me & Satakarni have few things in common. We have Goal & Anger in common. If I don't like myself, what will be the use even if others like me. In this aspect, We both are similar,' he shared.
Balayya told his father NTR encouraged him to be an Actor in 1973. 'I have been successful and still able to continue even after 43 years. 71 out of 99 films celebrated 100 days. It was merely because of the blessings of my parents & love showered by fans. So many people including Producers, Directors and Heroines supported me in this journey and I thankful to all of them. I'm dedicating my 100th Film to Telugus, particularly all the Mothers,' declares Nata Simha.
On this occasion, Balakrishna revealed Gautamiputra Satakarni defeated 33 Kings during his rule. He also shares more research is being done to know many more untold facts about the Satavahana ruler.
