Bhalevadivi Basu is a 2001 Telugu-language action comedy film, produced by Sivalenka Krishna Prasad under the Sridevi Movies banner and directed by P. A. Arun Prasad. It stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Anjala Zhaveri, Shilpa Shetty and the music was composed by Mani Sharma. Bhalevadivi Basu created a lot of hype since it followed the stupendous hit of Narasimha Naidu and was intended to be an image make-over for Nandamuri Balakrishna from action hero to family hero. The film was not commercially successful.
