Pooja for Balakrishna's new film Bhishma was formally held on Thursday, June 18, 2009 at producer Bellamkonda Suresh's office. Bhishma is being directed by Ramesh Varma of Ride and produced by Bellamkonda. The film will have three heroines, Bellamkonda revealed. "We are yet to finalize the other star cast. We will have big launch ceremony on June 29th. On that day, I will announce the heroine's names and also the release date of the movie," he informed.
He also said he is happy to produce this film with Balakrishna. "This is my third film with him after Chennakeshava Reddy and Lakshmi Narasinha. I loved the script narrated by Ramesh Varma. He told this one even before he narrated Ride's script but we started the latter one. It is going to be more action oriented flick," he added.
He also said that film is nothing to do with Late NTR's classic Bhishma. "This is not mythology film. It is pure action entertainer," he stated.
