Alleged remarks by a TDP MLA calling for a boycott of a movie of Tollywood superstar Jr NTR triggered a row with the actor’s fans staging a protest demanding his apology.<\/p>\n
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA from Anantapur Urban, Daggupati Venkateswara Prasad, allegedly used derogatory words for Jr NTR and called for a boycott of his film ‘War2’ in Anantapur.<\/p>\n
An audio clip allegedly featuring the MLA surfaced online, triggering protests from the actor’s fans. The fans on Sunday staged a protest in front of the MLA’s residence, calling for a public apology.<\/p>\n
They raised slogans and tore down flexis of the MLA. One of them stated that there is no TDP without Nandamuri fans.<\/p>\n
As the protest created tension, police beefed up security at the MLA’s residence and office.<\/p>\n
Prasad issued a video statement, denying that the voice in the leaked audio clip is his. He stated that he is a fan of Nara and Nandamuri families. He alleged that the audio clip is a part of a conspiracy by his political rivals.<\/p>\n
The MLA also stated that if Jr NTR fans are hurt, he apologises to them.<\/p>\n
However, the actor’s fans demanded that the MLA come before the media to apologise for his remarks.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, YSR Congress leader and former minister R. K. Roja found fault with the MLA’s alleged remarks. She said that one should not mix politics with films.<\/p>\n
Roja, who is also an actor, said that since Jr NTR is not in politics, no one should make such remarks.<\/p>\n
She also remarked that calling for a boycott of Jr NTR’s film is like stopping the sun with a palm.<\/p>\n
“If a movie is good, no one can stop it,” she said.<\/p>\n
Roja also took a dig at Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, saying that though MLAs purchased tickets for his movie ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, they could not save it.<\/p>\n
A section of TDP supporters were reportedly unhappy with Jr NTR for his remark made at the pre-release event of ‘War2’. The actor stated that as long as he has the blessings of his grandfather, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR), no one can do anything to him.<\/p>\n
Jr NTR is the grandson of popular actor and former Chief Minister NTR, who founded TDP in 1982.<\/p>\n
NTR’s son-in-law, N. Chandrababu Naidu, took over the reins of the party and the government after leading a revolt against NTR in 1995.<\/p>\n
CM Naidu is also grooming his son Nara Lokesh as his political successor. A section of fans of Jr NTR feels that he should inherit the political legacy of his grandfather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alleged remarks by a TDP MLA calling for a boycott of a movie of Tollywood superstar Jr NTR…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":153671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[89887,171,53,79863,89886,67,132,68,27332],"class_list":{"0":"post-153670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-daggubati-prasad","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-ntr","12":"tag-tdp","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-war-2"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115045356523419771","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
