> Balakrishna's resurgence with 'Akhanda' and 'Bhagavanth Kesari' positions him to achieve a rare feat - a hat-trick of one-million-dollar films at the USA box office, marking a notable shift in his overseas appeal.

[Balakrishna](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/nandamuri-balakrishna) had faced a series of setbacks in his career before "[Akhanda](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/akhanda)," but the directorial of Boyapati Sreenu changed his fortunes completely. While the senior actor had experienced a few hits in the past, maintaining consistency had been a challenge. However, "[Akhanda](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/akhanda)" marked a remarkable comeback, notably attracting a younger audience. This success is evident in the performance of "Veera Simha Reddy."

"[Bhagavanth Kesari](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/bhagavanth-kesari)" also had a decent opening. Beyond the box office collections, Balayya is receiving praise for choosing a role that matches his age and delivering a meaningful social message. The film is well on its way to becoming the third one-million-dollar film for [Balakrishna](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/nandamuri-balakrishna) at the USA box office. "[Akhanda](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/akhanda)" and "Veera Simha Reddy" have already achieved this elite milestone.

Among the four senior Telugu heroes, [Balakrishna](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/nandamuri-balakrishna) is set to be the first actor to secure a hat-trick of one-million-dollar films at the USA box office. While Chiranjeevi's "Khaidi No. 150" and "Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy" surpassed two million dollars, "Acharya" narrowly missed the mark. Chiru had a chance for a hat-trick with "Godfather" and "Waltair Veerayya," but "Bholaa Shankar" disrupted the streak.

[Balakrishna](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/nandamuri-balakrishna) is now on the brink of achieving this milestone. Notably, overseas markets were a weaker area for [Balakrishna](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/nandamuri-balakrishna) in the past, but his recent films have resonated with international audiences, marking a positive shift in his career.
