NBK107: ‘Jai Balayya’ And ‘Reddy Garu’ Rejected Again
The movie's titles, "Jai Balayya" and "Anna Gaaru," suggest that filmmaker gopichand malineni aims to enhance Balayya's reputation. While the fan-shout "Jai Balayya" is well-known, a song with the same lyrics just become very popular in Akhanda. In addition, "Anna Gaaru" makes a clear allusion to the illustrious NT Ramarao. balakrishna reportedly disapproves of both titles and requests that the director stay with "Reddy Gaaru," the original working title.
They claim that balayya may have believed that calling himself "Anna gaaru" would be linking himself to his father, and he didn't want that to happen. However, using "Jai Balayya" would be more of a self-praising kind of stuff. gopichand malineni, the director, is reportedly still attempting to persuade balayya to accept a title from either of these two despite the fact that balayya has previously made it clear that he will not.
