Kangana Ranaut has suggested that she sympathizes with Nandamuri Balakrishna because he is a victim of Krish Jagarlamudi's creativity. "My heart goes out to the actor, who trusted the director so much and put a lot at stake," the Bollywood actress has been quoted as saying about the failure of the 'NTR' biopic movies. Both parts of the NTR saga have been huge box-office calamities.

Kangana, known for making frank statements, sees a vindication of her claim that 'Manikarnika' was spoiled by Krish. She said in January that it's she who saved the film from sinking completely after Krish left the project to direct 'NTR' biopic. The actress wants the world to understand that Krish's directorial competence is now suspect.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna's dull appearance at the pre-release event of '118' has triggered the speculation that the senior actor is devastated that 'NTR: Mahanayakudu' has turned out to be a humiliating flop.
