ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

Balayya USA Fans is a fan-run, volunteer-powered association uniting Nandamuri Balakrishna fans across America, from Dallas to DC, Chicago to the Bay.

We exist for two things: celebrating our hero and serving our communities in his name. That means first-day-first-show premiere events, birthday celebrations in every chapter city, and seva drives inspired by NBK's own philanthropy through the Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital.

We are proudly unofficial and independent, built by fans, funded by fans, and open to every Telugu movie lover in the USA. If Balayya's entry scene gives you goosebumps, you already belong here.

PHILANTHROPY

Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital

Founded by Nandamuri Balakrishna in memory of his mother Basavatarakam

One of Balayya anna's greatest contributions to humanity is the Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital in Hyderabad - a world-class cancer treatment center built to honor his mother's memory and serve patients who cannot afford expensive care elsewhere.

The hospital offers cutting-edge treatments including Tomotherapy, Robotic Surgery, and 3D Digital Mammography - technologies typically found only in elite private hospitals - but with a mission to make cancer care accessible and affordable to all.

Every year, thousands of patients from across India and abroad receive life-saving treatment here. NBK and his family remain deeply involved in the hospital's operations and fundraising. As USA fans, supporting Basavatarakam is one of the most meaningful ways we can stand behind our hero's mission.
