Mega Star Chiranjeevi wields considerable influence among all in Tollywood. Now speculation is increasing as to whether those in the industry who derived favors from him are now conveniently ignoring by sidelining them conveniently. It is known that when Chiranjeevi along with Nagarjuna and others had been trying to resolve the contentious issues like theatres opening, occupancy, and ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan's fiery speech at Republic pre-release event poured cold water. During that time few producers without informing Chiranjeevi, met AP Minister Perni Nani and others fearing that Pawan's speech would land the entire industry in trouble.
Later they along with Minister Perni Nani also went on record that Chiranjeevi repented and even apologized to Perni Nani over Pawan Kalyan's comments and asked the minister not to target the industry for one individual. However, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan are blood relations and even recently they are seen laughing and smiling and exchanging cordial words at a marriage.
This triggered rumors that Pawan and Chiru is hand in hand and so producers are sidelining them fearing getting targeted by the AP government. Otherwise, how could anyone explain producers by the sie of Nagarjuna when he had luncheon with AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy while Nagarjuna and AP ministers said it was just a cordial visit.
