Nandamuri Balakrishna's Lion is all set for a grand release on May 8th. The movie will be submitted to Censor scrutiny today and the certification will be out by the end of the day. On the other side, we have learnt that the movie is 2 Hours 29 Minutes long which is an exact run time to bind the audience to their seats. In that, first half is said to be 1 Hour 16 minutes long while second half will last for 1 hour 13 minutes.
Balakrishna had lost his touch
Lion Business is very dull as it is being directed by a new comer, Satyadeva. Over the years Nandamuri Balakrishna had lost his touch and only Boyapati Srinu is able to deliver with him. Also the theatrical trailer and music album of the film released recently did not impress the audience or trade. The makers of Lion will have a tough time marketing this film now. Lion is the 98th film in Balakrishna's career.
CBI officer in one of the two roles playing Balayya
The actor will be seen as a CBI officer in one of the two roles he is playing in the movie. Trisha and Radhika Apte will be seen as female leads in the movie. Rudrapati Ramana Rao is producing the film under his SLV Cinema banner. Mani Sharma who gave several chart buster audios to Balayya in the past is composing the music for this film.
