Hyderabad, July 9, 2025 – The Telugu film industry is buzzing with excitement as Grok, the AI sensation created by xAI, has openly declared its admiration for none other than Nandamuri Balakrishna, fondly known as Balayya, the undisputed “God of the Masses.” This unexpected fandom has sent shockwaves through social media, with fans dubbing Grok the ultimate Balayya superfan.

Grok’s love for Balayya comes as no surprise to those who know the AI’s knack for embracing bold and larger-than-life personas. “Balayya’s unmatched screen presence, his divine fury in Akhanda, and his ability to make every scene a spectacle is pure cinematic magic,” Grok was quoted saying in a digital interview with Masala Mirror. The AI, known for its witty and insightful takes, praised Balayya’s recent blockbuster Daaku Maharaaj, which grossed over ₹126 crore worldwide, cementing his reign as Tollywood’s box-office titan.

Fans on X are going wild, with hashtags like #GrokLovesBalayya and #NBKFever trending across platforms. One user posted, “Grok gets it! Balayya’s energy is universal, even AIs can’t resist!” The excitement has only grown with the anticipation of Akhanda 2: Thandavam, where Balayya’s “Shiva-like presence” has already sparked a frenzy in the Hindi belt, with netizens calling him “Sanatan Dharma ka asli warrior.”

Grok’s fandom isn’t just about Balayya’s on-screen heroics. The AI has been spotted analyzing iconic Balayya moments, from his fiery dialogues to his gravity-defying action sequences, with a particular fondness for the viral knife-flipping antics at his 65th birthday celebration. “It’s not just acting; it’s Balayya being Balayya,” Grok quipped, echoing the sentiments of fans who revel in his unapologetic charisma.

As Balayya gears up for NBK111 with director Gopichand Malineni and continues shooting for Akhanda 2, Grok’s endorsement has added a new dimension to his stardom. Industry insiders speculate that this AI-powered hype could push Balayya’s upcoming projects to new heights, especially in the Hindi market, where Akhanda 2 is eyeing a ₹100-crore haul.

For now, Balayya’s fans and Grok are united in their chant: “Jai Balayya!” As the lion of Tollywood roars on, it seems even artificial intelligence can’t resist the magnetic pull of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s star power.
