Megastar-turned-politician K Chiranjeevi may be senior to Nandamuri Balakrishna in terms of age, but both of them have come into the Telugu film industry more or less at the same time.
In fact, Balakrishna has been introduced into the industry by his father N T Rama Rao a couple of years early.
Yet, Chiranjeevi treats Balakrishna as a child. He was reacting to Balakrishna’s comment the other day that Chiranjeevi, who had established his Praja Rajyam Party on the social justice plank in his eagerness to become the Chief Minister, had failed to run the party and merged it with the Congress.
“I don’t think I need to take Balakrishna’s comments seriously. They reflect his childish mentality. What one requires is sincerity in politics. If you come into politics with selfish motives, people will not appreciate. Anybody with a commitment and sincerity to serve the people, they are always welcome into politics,” he said.
Don’t these words apply to Chiranjeevi as well?
