- T.N.Balakrishna (2 November 1911 - 19 July 1995) was an Indian actor in the Kannada film industry. He was said to have a hearing problem and some say that he was totally deaf. However, he would catch the lip movements of the artists and would narrate the dialogues spontaneously. He was popular for his comic and villainous roles in films like Muriyada Mane (1964), Bangaarada Manushya (1972), Gandhada Gudi (1973) and Kaamana Billu (1983) and appeared in over a hundred films that starred Rajkumar in the lead role.[2]
Balakrishna is known to have played the most number of roles in Kannada cinema, having appeared in over 560 films as a hero, villain, comedian, good Samaritan, loving father and lunatic.[2] Sudha Chandran is his ex-daughter in law.Balakrishna was born into a poor family on 2 November 1911 in Arsikere, Kingdom of Mysore. When he was four years old, his mother sold him to a couple for just ₹8 in order to provide treatment for her ailing husband. He ran away from his adopted parents after having been treated badly.
Career
Balakrishna first acted in the play, Shri Rama Pattabhishekha, in 1929. Following this, he worked as the painter of the stage backdrops for a drama company before becoming a professional sign painter. Later, he became a ticket collector in a drama company for a meagre salary. He returned to acting in theatre with Lakshmasana Drama Company and then with Gowrishankar Nataka Mandali. Following this, he joined the drama company of Gubbi Veeranna, a notable theatre director during the time.[3] Film director B. R. Panthulu happened to visit the drama company, saw his acting on stage and offered him a film role, beginning his career as a movie actor. He appeared as an antagonist in the film Kalachakra, a performance that was appreciated. He appeared in over a hundred Kannada films playing mostly comic roles, that starred Rajkumar in lead roles.
In order to make the Kannada film industry self-reliant and save money for the producers, he started the studio, investing all of his money and property. He built the Abhiman studio in Kengeri, Bangalore on a 20-acre plot in 1963, but faced difficulties initially.
When no Kannada films were being made, he got together with other actors like Rajkumar and G. V. Iyer and produced the film Ranadheera Kanteerava. He even raised money from the public at ₹1 per person to build the studio. The studio was a failure, and Balanna died in penury. Television serials are still being shot at the studio today which is being looked after by Balakrishna's son, B. Ganesh and grandson Karthik...[4]

We Remain to Akashwani .Akashwani is a well store house of rare collection of interviews of our great film Personalities. One of our Great personalities is Balanna. Balakrishna and Narasimha Raju are famous pair.
I am from Udupi. Before he started his Studio in Kengeri, he had come to Udupi and given a talk on a stage with open ground near the old Municipal Office. I think it was sometime in early 60s. He made a very emotional speech about the need to have a film studio for Kannada Films which were very few and were then being produced in Madras. His Kannada pride was vibrant and he was collecting Re 1 from each person to fund the studio. I did a lot of research about Kengeri studio which is what I remember. I now know it is Abhiman Studios and is being managed by his grandson. Best wishes to him. I am 80 now and even after sixty years of his talk, his voice reverberates in my head.
ಅಪರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪರೂಪದ ನಟ ನಮ್ಮ ಬಾಲಣ್ಣ...
