Call it the stamina of Balakrishna, magic of visuals or the sheer popularity of the historical, the teaser of 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' has clocked a million hits since yesterday. In no time, #PSKTeaserBlast, #NBK100 and #GautamiputraSatakarni hash tags trended on social media for hours on end. The excitement was palpable among the fans. The teaser was released by Hema Malini through her Twitter account. There is a reason why Hema Malini was chosen to release the teaser. It's because the mother played a spiritual role in the life and victories of the Satavahana king and it would be befitting to have the teaser released by an actress playing that character. Fittingly, the mother has once again given victory to GS.

The visuals are stunning. Heard is the voice only of Balakrishna. 'Visranthi ledu.. Viramam ledu' and 'Samayam ledu mitrama. Sharanama.. Ranama' say it all. Get ready for an intense battlefield drama and beyond.

The movie is gearing up for a grand Sankranthi 2017 release.
