Nandamuri Balakrishna is one of the senior actors in the Telugu film industry. The actor has never given importance to success and failure. Depending on the script and the writers who approach him, he used to pick the films. But now, he wanted to change the strategy. Balakrishna decided to team up with young filmmakers who can give a special image. Right now, Balakrishna is working on Akhanda, in Boyapati Srinu's direction.

Soon after this, he is planning to work with Gopichand Malineni and Anil Ravipudi. Both Gopichand Malineni and Anil Ravipudi are young filmmakers who enjoy a good fan following. Both the directors proved themselves with successful films, featuring star heroes.

Balakrishna is planning to implement a new strategy now to mold himself with how the young directors want him to. Balakrishna is hoping to have a change in his image which would help him match his contemporaries.
