Nandamuri Balakrishna's 98th film is tentatively titled 'Lion'. The makers have registered with Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of Commerce. But some one registered it with Telangana film chamber and is blackmailing the makers of 'NBK98' for money. As negotiations went on, they demanded five lakhs for the movie title. Film Chamber biggies refused to involve in this issue as it may take up the ugly regional turn.
It is said that Balakrishna asked the makers to leave the title and use 'Warrior' in its place. The makers will negotiate till December end as they have planned the movie first look teaser on December 31st midnight. They will go with 'Warrior' if 'Lion' is not given.
Since Balakrishna belongs to Andhra Pradesh and is also an MLA of Telugu Desam Party which is considered as arch-rival to the Telangana's ruling TRS party. Telangana Chamber heads are very stern about releasing the title even though the producer who blocked it has not used it for several months and is also not going to use it in near future.
Trisha will be romancing Balayya for the first time in this movie. There are rumours that the movie will be based on a real life character. Rudrapati Ramana Rao will be producing the film under his SLV Cinema banner. Mani Sharma who gave several chart buster audios to Balayya in the past will be composing the music for this film.
