AP Minister Perni Nani’s meeting with actor Mohan Babu and his son and MAA president Manchu Vishnu has raised several eyebrows. The meeting came hours after Jagan notched up an agreement with film industry biggies like Chiranjeevi, Prabhas and Mahesh Babu. Highly placed sources say that Jagan was upset over Perni Nani meeting Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu.
In fact, the state government is yet to spell out its offer to the film industry representatives. Already some issues have been discussed and a final announcement is due soon. Even before that has happened, Minister Nani met Mohan babu and Manchu Vishnu. This has drawn flak. CM Jagan is said to have reprimanded Perni Nani.
Perni Nani is reported to have apprised Mohan Babu about the proceedings of the meeting with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. In the meanwhile, Manchu Vishnu has tweeted thanking the minister for his initiative in solving the problems of the industry.
This led to questions about why Nani should reveal everything to Mohan Babu before actually talking to the other biggies of the industry. Several film personalities too expressed dissatisfaction about this development. Ani was forced to immediately issue a clarification that his meeting with Mohan Babu was a courtesy call. He said he had accepted an invitation from Mohan Babu only out of friendship and no other issue was discussed.
