Is the Sankranthi film war getting political? Is ‘Alludu’ entering into the Sankranthi film battle for his ‘Mamagaru’? Is operation ‘Mamaku Prematho’ on to fail ‘Nannaku Prematho?’ Is the Babai-Abbai war turning into a bitter fight for political upmanship? Sources now say that Nara Lokesh has entered the Sankranthi film war between Nannaku Prematho and Balayya’s Dictator.
Lokesh is allegedly talking to the exhibitors and distributors and is asking them not to get deeply involved in the film. Allegations are afloat online and NTR camp is blaming Lokesh. They claim that Lokesh is asking the exhibitors and distributors to ensure that Nannaku Prematho fails. Interestingly, some people threatened NTR’s friends and directors not to attend the Nannaku Prematho audio release.
Sources say that if Nannaku Prematho becomes a hit, then NTR could grow as a political rival to Lokesh. Hence, Balayya’s group is accused of trying to ensure that the film fails in both Andhra and Ceded areas, where TDP is in power. But, they are not very worried about Telangana, where the TDP has little stakes. This is a clear indication, according to NTR fans that political forces are trying to ensure that Jr NTR’s film fails.
