It's target NTR for Naidu, Balayya

So what if Chandrababu Naidu stops his padayatra. His party TDP will continue to be in the news. Wonder how? Well, the war between Jr NTR and Bala Krishna is far from over. Hence, all the juicy bits of news and gossips surrounding their feud will make sure the party stays in news. The rift  between the duo is not a new one.

But there are interesting developments almost everyday.  Switch on any news channel and there's some news or the other about the two. But one wonders who is the news-maker? Is it Jr NTR or Bala Krishna?

The buzz in the film fraternity is that Balayya has reportedly revolted against NTR keeping in mind the career of his son Mokshagna who's aspiring to be an actor. It is learnt that all these controversies are nothing but Balayya's strategies to get his son into the film industry.

Thus Balayya is making every effort possible to reduce the popularity of Jr NTR who has a huge fan following. Balayya's goal is to not let NTR grow in his career so as to make way for Mokshagna's entry.
It may be recalled that when reporters questioned Balayya about when his son would make his film debut, Balayya replied in one or two year's time.

Sources say that one of Balayya's strategies involved sending out SMSes to all Nandamuri fans not to watch NTR's films.

On the other hand, Naidu too is threatened by the PR skills of actor NTR. His son Nara Lokesh who's joined politics cannot compete with the actor in terms of speech or luring people. Thus Both Naidu and Balayya want to ensure that NTR's image takes a beating and the actor neither survives in films or politics. Recently, Naidu also bought a prime time slot in a local television news channel to air a programme against actor NTR, sources say.

NTR on his part hasn't had a hit film in the recent time. The actor is pinning all his hopes on his upcoming Telugu flick, Baadshah. However, the start off (audio launch) is already a disaster. His fans are keeping their fingers crossed hoping that at least his movie does well at the box office.

Now, the next move for Balayya and Naidu would be to ensure that Jr NTR doesn't use his grandfather (actor-politician NTR) anywhere to gain mileage.
