The unstoppable show in AHA is one that was not just superhit but also helped the OTT company to establish itself firmly and helped Nandamuri Bala Krishna too. All the image NBK had earlier was completely changed after he started hosting this show. Many anti-fans too admired Balayya for his spontaneous punches and his lovable nature. Sentimentally, the show seemed to have brought him luck as the Akhanda was a blockbuster, and his later films were perfectly aligned with good directors.
For the first season, it’s said that NBK was paid Rs 2.5 Crores for a total of 10 episodes. Now, as the second season is happening too, there is a talk in TFI that his remuneration was doubled, and he will be paid Rs 5 Crores for ten episodes, they say. That calculates as Rs 50 lakhs per episode. Even that could be said to be a very reasonable rate as he is one of the Tollywood superstars. Allu Aravind, the master behind OTT, was also very impressed with Balayya, that is thinking of making a movie with him, says the sources.
