The other day, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt thanked an astrologer in his Instagram post. "Thank you, Balu Munnangi, for being there through thick and thin. Your guidance has been an integral part of our lives!" Now, Balu is a Telugu man. An expert at Astrology, Numerology and Palmistry, he is said to be the most sought-after astrologer for a lot of Bollywood celebs, including the 'RRR' star Ajay Devgn, his wife and yesteryear superstar actress Kajol, and star producer-director Karan Johar.

A few weeks ago, Karan Johar shared a picture of himself with Balu and wrote, "Thank you for your unconditional support and guidance on astro advice."

Recently, a national media report said that Balu has been consulted by superstar actress Kiara Advani, who recently bagged Ram Charan-Shankar's movie. Siddharth Malhotra, the famous Bollywood actor, is said to be fond of Balu's prescriptions. He recently scored a super-hit in the shape of the critically-acclaimed 'Shershaah'. There is this buzz that it was Karan Johar, who is producing Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger', who advised the Siddharth-Kiara duo to consult Balu.

Balu, who hails from the Guntur district and is based in Hyderabad, was instrumental in advising Ajay Devgn on the release date of 'Tanhaji' (Hindi). The film became a blockbuster. Since then, Devgn has been relentless in seeking Balu's guidance. We learn that Sanjay Dutt benefited from his advice when he was diagnosed with cancer. The 'Munnabhai MBBS' star is currently doing 'KGF 2'.

"In 2018, Balu was conferred with Jyothisha Visharada title by Sir CV Raman Academy," a source says. It's learned that he has also been consulted with regards to Prabhas' 'Adipurush'.
