Hey Balwanth: Cast and crew
Directed by debutant Gopi Atchara, Hey Balwanth brings back the combination of Suhas and Shivani Nagaram of Little Hearts fame as the lead pair. They previously shared screen space in the hit film Ambajipeta Marriage Band and impressed audiences. Nellore Sudarshan, Naresh, and Vennela Kishore play key roles in the comedy-drama.
Why was Hey Balwanth’s title changed?
Hey Balwanth was previously named Hey Bhagawan. It had to be renamed due to censorship issues. Actor Suhas, in an interview with Telugu Cinemas.in, shared that the film was initially titled Hey Bhagwan, but the censor board suggested a change since the word “Bhagwan” refers to God. The team eventually settled on Hey Balwanth. Alongside the title, Naresh’s character name was also changed, and the film’s core idea went through scrutiny during the certification process.
