In 1943, during his camp for the popular play "Krishnaleela", his acting talent did impress the then most eminent and first female film producer and actress Mrs.M.V.Rajamma who was invited for the show and who was too impressed by Balu’s performance, later on after the show she preordained to offer Balu a most promising character role in her later film. Though she moved on to her other film related commitments, Balu did persistently pursued and visited her in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) with undeterred confidence to remind her of her assurance to offer him a role in her film. Nothing deterred him to take up the challenging profession. The first film opportunity was offered by Mrs.M.V.Rajamma for the film “Raadha Ramana”. There were no bounds to Balu’s excitements and happiness. He thus carved a niche for himself by making an entry into the Kannada film industry which provided him a prominent break as the film went on to be a successful one. After that film there was a lapse in offers for him for a couple of years which though did not dilute his devotion for theatre activities nor did his faith sink, but instead, he resolved to work and work to pursue his dreams and that kept his confidence flying high. In the meantime he engaged himself in his usual theatre activities.
A MESSAGE:– Success never happen overnight but one has to work for it to happen. Knock all the doors and one shall ultimately open.
