The years from 2005 to 2009 saw a lull in Balayya's career. Action-drama flicks such as Vijayendra Varma, Veerabhadra, Allari Pidugu, Okka Magadu and Maharadhi bombed at the box office.[40] Balakrishna paired with Sneha and Tabu in the mythological movie Panduranga (2008) directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. He played the dual roles of Krishna and Panduranga.[41] Rediff described his performance as "Balakrishna does justice to both the roles of God and Ranga. He shines in the climax of the movie. It's quite a task to step into NTR's shoes but his son has done pretty well, though one does miss NTR in the role of Krishna!".[42] The film was an average success and his performance won him the Santosham Best Actor Award.[43] In the year 2009, he starred in family drama Mithrudu alongside Priyamani in a slightly different role – that of a dependable friend and confidante to the female lead.

The film opened to positive reviews,[45] and went on to became one of the highest grossing film of the year.[46] A review in Rediff said about his performance "Balakrishna has put in a restrained performance. Though his character is supposed to roar at times, he seems subdued most of the time. But he's given plenty to be pleased about as it is his show all the way."[47] In 2011 he acted in a mythological film Sri Rama Rajyam based on the epic Ramayana.

In 2014, he acted in Boyapati Srinu's film Legend alongside Sonal Chauhan and jagapathi babu. NBK played dual Brother roles. The film turned out to be a Blockbuster and entered into 50 Crore Club

International Film Festival of India (IFFI)

The Goa Governor, B V Wanchoo, the Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and Balakrishna were seen along with award winners and other dignitaries at the closing ceremony of the 43rd edition of the IFFI. Balakrishna, in his speech, said that although Telugu film industry finds no place in the film festival by way of representation to its films, 80 per cent of the movies that are produced in India are in regional languages, out of which 50 per cent are from South India. "Today, film industry is facing competition from radio, and television as also from piracy," the South Indian superstar stated. He also maintained that the film festivals have enlarged his vision towards his career.[48]

Article on National Geographic

While shooting SrimanNarayana movie in Switzerland with cast Nandamuri Balakrishna and Ishachawla the National Geopgraphic Traveler Andrew Evans,wrote an article named "Dream Sequence" about the dance sequence on hero and heroine, and he wrote discussions happened with cast and Rengarajan Jaiprakash regarding films and Swiss.[49]

Shooting controversy

Nandamuri Balakrishna was involved in a shooting controversy. The incident took place on June 3, 2004 around 20:50 hrs at his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. It is alleged that the actor has fired shots at the producer B.Suresh and his associate, Satyanarayana Chowdhary. Later both the wounded were admitted into Apollo hospital.[50] The circumstances under which the case was handled led to much controversy as purported by the Human Right Forum (HRF). The HRF has questioned the authenticity of people who handled the case, and the circumstances under which the actor was shielded from police by giving refuge in the CARE Hospital with out any justifiable cause.[51] The two victims have given statements before the magistrate alleging that actor Sri.Nandamuri Bala krishna has fired shots at them during their treatment in the hospital but soon they were retracted and made volte-face of their earlier statements.[52] The actor was arrested later on June 6 at around 3:30 AM and produced before fifth Metropolitan Magistrate. A show cause notice was also served on Sri. Nandamuri Bala Krishna's wife Smt. Vasundhara Devi (married: 1982) as the weapon used was licensed under her name and she could not give sufficient protection to her licensed weapon. But later the actor was granted bail.[53]

Political entry

Ever since the Telugu Desam Party formation, Balakrishna always campaigned for it in every election but never entered the electoral battle. He contested in the 2014 Legislative Elections on behalf of TDP and won the Hindupur Assembly Constituency seat with a good majority (16,397).[54] Hindupur, in Anantapur district, has been a TD stronghold since 1983. It was once represented by NTR himself and later for a term by his elder son Nandamuri Harikrishna and Balakrishna will be the third from the family to represent State Assembly.[55]
