'Reporter Balakrishna' to be Puri's title?
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,July 04 2016]
Whenever Puri Jagannadh announces the title of his flick, there is some talk about it and around it. We recently saw how Telugu film-goers on social media widely spread the word about Mahesh Babu's 'Jana Gana Mana' with Puri.
The news is that Puri is mooting three interesting titles for his next with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. Since the hero plays the role of a journalist in this flick, he is mooting the title of 'Journalist' for the movie. Since this may sound too classy, he is considering two other titles. They are 'Ijam' (the Telugu slang for the half-word -ism) and 'Reporter Balakrishna'.
In all probability Puri may go for the last one for two reasons. After a title like 'Cameraman Ganga', 'Reporter Balakrishna' will have a sentimental value for him. Secondly, Balayya is the biggest Nandamuri hero after the late NTR. So, the title will be like a tribute to his stardom. As for 'Ijam', although its meaning is not comprehended by the masses, the word is popular because Telugu-language dailies use it. Moreover, after a term like Pawanism has become a common word, it will have a good connect with the audience.
Meanwhile, sources say that a trendy look of Kalyan Ram will be out today evening.
