The baseless allegation that Trivikram Srinivas is the ghost-writer penning Pawan Kalyan's political speeches is as old as Jana Sena Party. While Bandla Ganesh in the past has vociferously condemned such a suggestion, what does the Matala Mantrikudu have to say?

"It's a complete lie. I don't know anything about politics. As for Pawan Kalyan, he reads well, he writes well. Once he is done with reading a book, he even expresses his opinions spontaneously. He can represent pictorially what he visualizes while reading a book. Why would such a person need me for anything?" Trivikram asks.

The 'Agnyaathavaasi' director recently also stated in an interview that he will make 'Kobali' (a faction-ridden story set in Rayalaseema) should Power Star say OK post 2019 elections.
