Naga Chaitanya Reacts to Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Akkineni, Thokkineni’ Comment on His Grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao (Read Statement)
Legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s grandson Naga Chaitanya has issued statement over Nandamuri Balakrishna’s disrespectful comment during an event.
During the success meet of Veera Simha Reddy, actor Nandamuri Balakrishna put up disrespectful comments about legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao aka ANR. He had said, “My father Sr NTR had some contemporaries, aa Ranga Rao (referring to SV Ranga Rao), Akkineni, Thokkineni, and some others”. This clearly did not go down well with the Akkineni family. Naga Chaitanya, grandson of ANR, issued a statement in which he mentioned, “Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao garu, Akkineni Nageswara Rao garu and SV Ranga Rao garu’s creative contributions have been the pride and pillars of Telugu Cinema. Disrespecting them is degrading ourselves.” NBK108: Nandamuri Balakrishna and Honey Rose Team Up Once Again After Veera Simha Reddy.
