Malayalam film Balan: The Boy is set for release tomorrow (June 19) in multiple languages. Appreciation for the thriller continues to pour in from popular celebrities across Indian cinema. After legendary filmmaker Priyadarshan described it as one of the finest films of the last two years, Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya heaped praise on the film.

After attending a special screening, Naga Chaitanya revealed that the film stayed with him long after the credits rolled. “Even now, I get goosebumps talking about it. The film constantly surprises the audience and takes the story in directions nobody expects,” he said.

The Akkineni actor was particularly impressed by the screenplay. He also praised director Jeethu Madhavan, stating that Telugu audiences who embraced Manjummel Boys and Aavesham are likely to connect strongly with this film as well.

Naga Chaitanya felt that the unique storytelling style and execution would win over audiences. Backed by strong endorsements from popular actors and respected filmmakers, Balan: The Boy is heading into release with solid momentum. Annapurna Studios is releasing the movie in Telugu.
