In a move to impress TDP cadre, Jr NTR has finally renewed his Telugu Desam Party membership after a lot of dilly dallying. The Baadshah star reportedly renewed his party membership “quietly” at his father’s village Nimmakuru of Krishna district instead of renewing it in Hyderabad.
However, the rumour mill is abuzz that NTR renewed the membership only to “protect” his upcoming movie Temper by wooing his traditional fan base – who are sailing with TDP. Even trade buzz had it that most of NTR’s recent films bombed at Box Office only after he had hit rough weather with the party by distancing a large section of his movie-watchers.
Although NTR was star campaigner during 2009 polls, he subsequently distanced himself from the party after it lost elections. The reason in discussion is that he is upset with the “importance” given to Nara Lokesh. Even during 2014 poll campaign, Tarak was kept aside. Adding much to his dismay, Pawan Kalyan has replaced Tarak and scored more brownie points. With this turn of events, NTR unwillingly renewed the party membership in Nimmakur.
