The current scion of the Nandamuri family - Balakrishna, is one of the leading actors of Tollywood and also the sitting Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Hindupur Constituency! With many of the India's leading celebrities pitching in their contributions for the relief efforts for those afflicted by the COVID-19 Novel Corona Virus Pandemic, now Balayya has also come forward with his contribution! It has come to light that he has provided Rs. 1.25 Crores for the relief efforts! Of this amount, Rs. 50 lakhs each, goes to the relief funds of the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana. Balakrishna has given a cheque for the remaining Rs. 25 lakhs towards the Corona Crisis Charity (CCC) initiative which has been started by Megastar Chiranjeevi!

Balakrishna gave the cheque for CCC to its Executive member C Kalyan. This CCC was initiated by Megastar Chiranjeevi to help the Telugu Film Industry (TFI) workers, who have now lost their livelihood due to the ban on shooting. The Indian Government has announced a 21-day lockdown across the country, to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 Corona Virus Pandemic. In view of this, shooting has been stopped in all language industries, in India and theatres have also been shut down. Most of the technicians working in Cinema, depend on their daily wages for their livelihood and this shutdown has affected them and their families badly! The efforts of the CCC will go a long way in providing atleast some basic relief to these cinema workers!
