Responding with a smile, Balakrishna said, “I heard it when I was in my mother’s womb. Just like Abhimanyu in the Mahabharata learnt about the Padmavyuham before birth, I heard ‘Jai Balayya’ before I came into this world.”

With 'Akhanda 2' gearing up for release, the slogan “Jai Balayya” will undoubtedly echo across theatres once again as fans prepare to celebrate their favourite hero.
