Nandamuri family disputes making headlines again

0

Anybody who follows the news of the Telugu film industry is aware of the inner disputes between the Nandamuri family members. From long time there are continuous reports emerged about the differences between NTR and his uncle Nandamuri Balakrishna. Also, his relationship with the Telugu Desam Party (which was floated by SR NTR) members is also not much greater.

NTR intentionally skipping the latest event of SR NTR’s has made the disputes within the family reach the headlines again. Today marks the prestigious event of SR NTR’s 100 rupees coin launch and Tarak (NTR) skipped it by saying he has to take part in Devara, his upcoming film’s shooting.

Even before also the same thing happened during the SR NTR’s centenary celebrations where NTR skipped the event by saying that he already planned his birthday celebrations. So, with all these incidents, it was understood by fans and others that he wantedly skipped the events.

It gives an indirect hint that NTR does not want to involve politically with the TDP and he is not at all comfortable sharing the same stage with Balakrishna and other TDP leaders. Maybe he is on the right track and might have his own reasons to behaving like this, but for fans this is becoming the worrying factor as they want to see you the entire family on the same stage. They expected NTR will attend the SR NTR’s 100 Rupees Coin event, but he disappointed them big time.
