Valluri Balakrishna was an Indian actor who primarily appeared in Telugu films as a comedian.[1][2] He acted in more than 100 films as a comedian, but the role he played in the movie Patala Bhairavi alongside N. T. Rama Rao as "Anji Gadu"[3][4][5] made him popular with the audience. He also played a role Sarathi in the very popular film Mayabazar.
