When Azharuddin visited Balayya's set

Azhar and Balayya were classmates at Nizam College and they still maintain a close friendship.

In this picture which was taken 25 years ago, former Indian cricketer Azharuddin is seen with actor Nandamuri Balakrishna.

Azhar met Balakrishna while the latter was shooting for his movie Aditya 369. Not many know that Azharuddin and Balakrishna were classmates at Nizam College.

“Azhar visited the sets of Aditya 369 as he was close to Balakrishna. Both of them are still good friends,” says the film’s producer Sivalenka Krishna Prasad.

Another famous actor Subhalekha Sudhakar is seen in the photo. “Sudhakar is a huge cricket lover and he knew many cricketers such as Azharuddin. Azhar, Gundappa Viswanath, Arun Lal and the rest of the cricket team visited his house in Chennai, when team India played matches there,” recalls Krishna Prasad.
