Social media is rife with Jr NTR’s fans sharing posts with the hashtag ‘#22YearsForBalaRamayanam’ celebrating 22 years of the release of the iconic film.

‘Bala Ramayanam’ was one of a kind when it released 22 years back on April 14, 1996. Directed by Gunasekhar and starring around 3000 children, the film caught attention for narrating the mythological tale with only child actors as stars. Jr NTR had then essayed the role of Lord Rama, with classical dancer Smitha Madhav essaying the role of Sita. All the children in the film were only between the ages of 10 and 12. The film went on to win the National Award for Best Children’s Film the same year.

The film had received positive reviews upon it release, raking in Rs 5 Cr in shares. ‘Bala Ramayanam’ marked the entry of Jr NTR as a child artiste and since then, the actor is now known as the young tiger amongst his fans, making a name for himself in mainstream Tollywood. In awe of the actor, a fan posted, “13Years ki aa acting chesadu he is truly a born actor @tarak9999 @smkoneru #22YearsForBalaRamayanam” (sic)

 

Even Gunasekhar took to social media to mark the occasion and wrote, “Today Marks 22 years of #NationalAWARD Winning #BestChildren’sFilm @Gunasekhar1’s #balaramayanam starring @tarak9999 as Lord Ram !” (sic)
