Tollywood's top hero, Padma Bhushan Nandamuri Balakrishna, has gifted music director Thaman a luxury Porsche worth Rs. 1.75 crores. Thaman composed music for Balakrishna's last four hit films—Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagwant Kesari, and Daku Maharaj—establishing a trend where he became known as "Nandamuri Thaman." The photos of this generous gesture have gone viral. Balakrishna and Thaman are now collaborating again for Akhanda 2, directed by Boyapati Srinu, with shooting already underway.
