This invited flak from Nandamuri fans. Despite heavy pressure from fans, none of the GPSK members have announced any Box Office numbers.
Now probably for the first-time nearly after 20 days long-battle, none other than the film’s lead protagonist took potshots at rivals, although indirectly.
Speaking at his felicitation by TSR, Balayya made some interesting comments and this is now becoming talking point in industry circuit since last night.
In the presence of film & political big wigs SS Rajamouli, Venkatesh Daggubati, Kavuri Sambasiva Rao, Daggubati Purandeswari & Venkateswara Rao, Jayasudha, Tamanna, Vishnu Manchu, Manchu Manoj and all the distributors of Gautamiputra Satakarni – Sai Korrapati, Nizam Sudhakar Reddy, Balayya said, “Everyone knows which film has collected more. But we’re neither interested in numbers nor in records. My fans will take care of them. They know where to place my films and make them stand at which position. Fans are everything to me.”
Though these comments seem to be made generally, but inner meaning is clear that Balayya took potshots at Chiru’s Khaidi No.150. Needless to say that Balayya has opened up the Pandora’s Box.
