In a recent interview, Pragya Jaiswal, the talented actress known for her work in Telugu cinema, opened up about her experience of working alongside the veteran actor Nandamuri Balakrishna, popularly known as Balayya.

Addressing the Age Gap

In an interview with Hindustan Times, she stated that casting decisions should be based on the role and the actor’s ability to portray it convincingly.

With “Daaku Maharaaj” currently running successfully in theaters and “Akhanda 2” in the pipeline, Pragya Jaiswal’s career is on a roll. Her willingness to work with Nandamuri Balakrishna in future projects, provided the audience continues to enjoy their on-screen chemistry, indicates a promising trajectory for their collaboration.
