Bharat Ratna is equivalent to NTR’s finger nail
Bharat Ratna is equivalent to my father NTR’s left foot finger nail, and no award is enough for his family’s contribution to the Telugu film industry. NTR is greater than Bharat Ratna and it was an honour not for those who took it but for those who gave it, Balayya said. I don’t know who Rehman is, Balakrishna made this kind of comment when he mentioned about music giant Maestro Ilayaraja. Balakrishna compared himself with Hollywood film maker James Cameron. Unlike James, I can finish movies very fast, Balakrishna said.
