Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s presence at the late NTR’s centenary celebrations has grabbed attention, especially considering the recent controversy involving Nandamuri Balakrishna. Balakrishna had made a comment in the film ‘Veerasimha Reddy’ Maikam, where he referred to the late Akkineni Nageswara Rao as ‘Akkineni..Tokkineni..’
In response, Naga Chaitanya expressed his disappointment, stating that insulting great personalities like Nageswara Rao and NT Rama Rao is akin to insulting oneself. Balakrishna’s sarcastic remark about the heirs of the Akkineni family further intensified the controversy.
However, Naga Chaitanya made a notable impression by attending the centenary celebrations of the late NTR. Despite being young, he exhibited a cultured demeanor, surprising many movie enthusiasts. This move has prompted discussions among insiders about Naga Chaitanya’s respectful approach and Balakrishna’s established position in the industry.
