This is not all. Balayya worked out so hard to look fit as king. Apparently he would wake up at 3.30 am in the morning and worked for two hours before he would make it to the sets at 6 am sharp. Also Balayya used to work 14 hours daily and said to have maintained the same energy level from the day's beginning to the end/
Balayya's commitment and dedication said to have inspired all other team members. Shriya Saran will be seen as the queen opposite Balayya while Hema Malini plays Rajamatha Gautami.
