Why Amitabh Okayed Nag, Chiru Projects And Rejected Balayya?

It's no news that Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is the sought-after actor in the film industry. Amitabh has been roped to play a cameo in Mega Star Chiranjeevi's Sye Raa and Nagarjuna's next flick which will be directed by Ram Gopal Varma.

We hear that Nandamuri Balakrishna too had also approached Big B to play a guest role in his upcoming film Jai Simha but Amitabh Bachchan politely refused saying his call sheet was jam-packed. Now, the grouse among Balayya fans is that when Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna approached the legendary actor to play a crucial role in their respective movies, he readily agreed despite his busy calendar.

Speculations over Amitabh's reason for rejecting a Balakrishna movie has become a widely discussed topic in filmnagar circles. Balakrishna is in the same league as Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna with a great fan following in Telugu states. He too won a Nandi award for Legend released in 2014. Perhaps the script wasn't compelling enough for Amitabh Bachchan to say yes.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and Balakrishna are currently busy with their respective projects.
