The other day, during the pre-release event of 'Manmadhudu-2', Akkineni Nagarjuna surprised everyone by not taking Trivikram Srinivas' name when he spoke about 'Manmadhudu'. The senior actor described the movie as a very important one in his career. However, he didn't even mention the name of its story and dialogue-writer, Trivkkram.

What made him skip the name? "It was Vijaya Bhaskar garu who narrated to me the story. It was he who would be with me during the making," Nag said in his latest interview. Upon further probing, the actor said, "Next question".

Nag has clearly refused to talk about Trivikram's contributions to 'Manmadhudu' despite sections of media saying that the duo is not on good terms. There is this speculation that their equations have not been healthy because Trivikram reneged on the promise of working with Naga Chaitanya or Akhil years ago. Since Trivikram didn't keep the promise allegedly made to Nag, the latter is miffed.
