Earlier this week, it was revealed that a lesson on former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and thespian NT Rama Rao has been included in the Social Studies textbook meant for Class X students. Included as a topic in a chapter, the textbook talks about NTR establishing the Telugu Desam Party and his struggle to retain power after N Bhaskar Rao staged a coup.

Nandamuri Balakrishna has thanked Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for including NTR's lesson. "NT Rama Rao garu raised the stature of art and artists with his work. He made the Delhi power-wielders understand the power of Telugu self-respect. As an administrator, he took a number of bold people-friendly decisions. He brought a new identity to the Telugus by helping erase the perception that we are all Madrasis. I thank KCR garu for including his achievements in the textbook," the 'Ruler' actor said.

On the work front, Balayya will be teaming up with Boyapati Srinu for a commercial entertainer.
