Tollywood actor Nandamuri Balakrishna aka Balayya’s much-awaited new movie Dictator released on Thursday sending his fans into a tizzy.  

 A measure of the fans’ excitement can be seen from the fact that they started taking 'Aarti' in the theatre itself when the actor appeared on screen.

 Nandamuri Balakrishna has always been known for his fandom across the state but this being his 99th film, the anticipation and expectations among the fans were greater.

 According to a media report, ''One of the crazy fans of Balakrishna even bought the first ticket for a whopping amount of Rs 3.6 lakhs (US$5.55). The ticket for his last movie Legend was bought for Rs 40,000.''

 Dictator is directed by Sriwass and also stars Anjali and Sonal Chauhan. The movie has received a mixed response from the audience so far.
