GPS: Purely Balakrishna Special!

'Gauthami Puthra Satakarni' has clearly become a special movie in Balakrishna’s illustrious 100 films career and also a deserved treat his fans are waiting since long. As an actor he got a real breakthrough with Mangamma Manavadu in 1984. From then on, Balakrishna reached deep into the masses winning the tags Box Office Bonanza and King of Masses.

Despite liking for powerful mass subjects, he encouraged innovative and class experimentation in between with films like Aditya 369, Bairava Dweepam, Sree Krishnarjuna Vijayam, Sree Rama Rajyam and so on. 

Leaving all the history of 99 movies behind, 'Gauthami Puthra Satakarni' has been a pleasure treat because of subject unfamiliarity. Although he is our Telugu King, none knew much about Satavahana dynasty. Playing against all odds, Balayya succeeded in creating enormous excitement on this royal warrior character which is liked both my mass and class audience now.

GPS began to achieve remarkable milestones for Balayya from its trailer launch. Crossing 5M views on youtube for the first time imprinted Balakrishna’s presence in social media. Now, GPS closed into Million dollar club in the United States. 

A similar astounding response is visible on online booking portals in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states wherein GPS screens are running to awesome crowds in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and other cities. For the first time, Balakrishna’s brand flourished equally magnetic in masses and classes. In many ways, GPS has become a milestone in Nata Simham’s career. Yesterday he rightly said, ‘Satakarni made me more responsible as an actor.’
