Is Balayya's mass following Stronger than Pawan?

It is a noted fact that for a hero to score success, he should have a strong mass following. That is one reason why many Telugu heroes tend to come up with mass oriented flicks if they want to find a strong foothold. Right now, the focus is on two heroes who are known for their strong mass following.

They are Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan. Though both are from different leagues, the cine folks say both enjoy a massive following. However, there are those who say that more than Pawan it is Balayya who has a strong penetration with the hardcore masses.
They add "Pawan has more craze among the youth audience and especially the students but we are talking about the hardcore B,C centre audience who come from very low income groups. Since their proportion is more and their interest towards cinema is high, Balayya's count is higher than Pawan."
