NTR Junior didn’t say a word about the Sankranthi box office clash with his Babai’s movie. He skipped talking about the topic while everyone was waiting for it. However he said that he wouldn’t fear anybody as his father taught him to be independent. “My father told me not to live like a coward. Fall or face death but never runaway from problems,” is what my father has taught me.

“I am here only because of two people… my grandfather and my father. They are the Gods for me,” said NTR and took the blessings of his father on stage. There was not even single mention or clip or poster of Balakrishna at the Nannaku Prematho audio launch. Harikrishna said Junior has inherited the qualities and looks of his grandfather.

Nandamuri Kalyan Ram said his father Harikrishna is the best son ever who has dedicated his entire life for his dad. NTR said he is here in this stage only because of Harikrishna and Late NTR. One thing is pretty clear that there is a huge rift in Nandamuri family.

Harikrishna and his sons are not trying to send signals of compromising with Balayya. So the clash is on and it is going to be a historical one.

Veteran actor Jagapathi Babu is currently busy doing supporting roles and villain characters. After playing a villain in Balakrishna’s Legend now he turns villain to NTR. He is going to be seen as the main villain in upcoming Sankranthi release Nannaku Prematho. Jagapathi Babu says this is the worst character that you will ever see.

“A very bad man, rogue and kaminey is what I play in Nannaku Prematho. People will hate me like anything after seeing this. For the first time in my life I had to act as I am never like this in my life.

This won’t be a loud villain like Legend. It is totally different from typical villain characters. Sukumar is a very intelligent filmmaker and I am proud to be a part of such a prestigious film,” Jagapathi told. Jagapathi Babu who has lost all his assets and money is trying to crawl back to the lost glory and riches. He wants to restart the legendary Jagapathi Pictures very soon.

“I want to restart our production house and produce a very big hit,” JB said at Nannaku Prematho audio launch. He hinted something about ‘Alludiki Prematho’ to which he didn’t give any further explanation. We wonder what JB is up to.
