With just a day ahead for much awaited Movie Artistes Association (MAA) elections, verbal war between Shivaji Raja and Naresh groups heated up. It must be remembered that Shivaji Raja's team was backed by Megastar Chiranjeevin in 2017 and eventually the same team won the poll battle.
However, the situation could be different this time. With reasons best known to only film fraternity, senior actor Naresh's group appeared to have succeeded in winning Megastar's blessings.
It was only Naresh's team that approached Chiranjeevi first for the latter's support to their team in MAA elections. Of course, the very next day, Shivaji Raja and his team mate Srikanth visited Megastar seeking his blessings on their team.
However, Shivaji Raja reportedly committed an unnecessary blunder mentioning Chiranjeevi's name in his chitchat with media. Shivaji Raja said Chiranjeevi was misled by Naresh's group. Even if Chiranjeevi was really misled by Naresh's group or not forms secondary. But then, Shivaji Raja's words indicate that Shivaji Raja has an opinion that Chiranjeevi can be misled by anyone quite easily. This kind of opinion hurts mega fans for sure. Since D-Day of elections is fast approaching, Shivaji Raja's frustration can be understood. Yet, he should have got balanced state of mindset when he was making remarks on Chiranjeevi.
