Fans eagerly awaiting the debut of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja in the film industry will have to wait a little longer. Recent statements from his father, Balakrishna, indicate that the 28-year-old will require an additional two years before making his much-anticipated silver screen appearance.

Reports from the recent TANA event in the USA suggest that Balakrishna revealed his plans to direct a sequel to his blockbuster film Aditya 369, titled Aditya 999, after fulfilling his commitments related to the upcoming general elections. It was also mentioned that Mokshagna would play an important character in the film, rather than the lead role.

This decision by Balakrishna has left fans curious, as it draws parallels to his debut under the direction of his father, the legendary N.T.Rama Rao. Initially, director Anil Ravipudi was expected to launch Mokshagna, but these recent revelations have surprised fans. With Balakrishna planning to start working on the movie after the elections in 2024, the release of Aditya 999 might be delayed until 2025, resulting in an additional two-year wait for Mokshagna’s entry into the silver screen.

Balakrishna seems to have chosen a different path for his son’s debut, opting for a relatable “boy-next-door” character rather than a grand, action-oriented role. This approach aims to establish a stronger connection with the audience and allows Mokshagna to grow and develop gradually, prioritizing long-term success over instant stardom.

This decision may have been influenced by observing the challenges faced by Akhil Akkineni, the son of Balakrishna’s rival Nagarjuna, who has encountered difficulties in successfully portraying significant action roles.

While Mokshagna’s fans may have to wait a bit longer for his debut, Balakrishna himself has been experiencing recent success with consecutive hits like Akhanda and Veera Simha Reddy. He has also teamed up with renowned director Anil Ravipudi for an upcoming film titled Bhagavath Kesari. On Balakrishna’s birthday, the filmmakers released the first look trailer, showcasing an action-packed avatar of the actor.

As the anticipation continues to build, fans of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja eagerly await his eventual debut, confident that his journey into the film industry will be worth the wait.
