In this illustrious career of more than 40 years, Nandamuri Balakrishna never signed any TV commercial nor he endorsed any brand. But then, the super success of the talk show “Unstoppable” on Aha OTT has opened new avenues for the senior superstar. While many brands ran for the Season 2 of this talk show to become sponsors, now some brands are running directly into Balayya as well.
It has come out that today, finally, Nandamuri Balakrishna has shot for his first-ever TV commercial. He’s said to have turned out a brand ambassador of Sai Priya Constructions a real estate company that is coming up with ventures in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. And Balayya will also be representing the brand on its promotional hoardings and other publicity material.
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, it was heard that Balayya was approached by a couple of soft drink makers to turn their brand ambassador and later in 2010s a big alcohol company is said to have approached him to do surrogate advertising for their mineral water brand. But for reasons unknown, the ‘Akhanda’ star turned them down all.
