Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's harsh comments against Megastar Chiranjeevi have come as a huge shocker to many people. When he was asked if he had invited Chiranjeevi to Lepakshi Utsavalu, Balakrishna said, I didn't invite him. Why should I give him to such an importance. I have many nearer and dearer to get the event added sufficient glamour. I have done hard work for these festivities."
Those observers, who heard the words of Balayya babu have felt Balakrishna's words can be understood as a positive gesture. Balakrishna knows the charisma of Chiranjeevi and he also knows how Chiranjeevi dominates the platform unintentionally. In fact, Balakrishna has been working for the past couple of days to make 'Lepakshi Utsavalu' a grand success. If at all he invites Chiranjeevi to the event there may be possibilities Chiranjeevi fans claiming the credit of the success to their hero. Sensing that, Balakrishna mightn't have invited Chiranjeevi to the event.
Long back, when Balakrishna made political comments on Chiranjeevi, the latter said 'Balayya baludi lanti vaadu. Andhuke mari nenu athani matalu care cheyyanu." It remains to be seen whether Chiranjeevi responds on Balakrishna's latest comments or not.
