Darshakaratna Dasari Narayana Rao and his ardent follower Natti Kumar are said to be strong opponents of Megastar Chiranjeevi. They would not leave any opportunity to criticize Chiru, whenever a chance comes to them. It seems Dasari has changed his mindset on Chiranjeevi these days, as he is keeping quiet instead of criticizing Chiranjeevi.Dasari hasn't commented or complimented about Chiru's union ministry. Sources say either had he changed his mindset really or he would move his pawns against Chiru silently.
However, Natti Kumar as usually reacted against Chiranjeevi , after Chiru got ministry. He said there is no need of felicitating Chiranjeevi as these kind of felicitations would become a new tradition in cine industry. And C.Kalyan, who is planning to felicitate Chiranjeevi, would be treated as his personal celebrations but no way to be connected to tollywood. Those who heard the words of Natti are saying that Natti has not changed his mindset on Chiranjeevi while others are saying that Natti's gestures are just nothing except jealousy on Chiranjeevi.
