When politicians are around, can politics be away? The pre-release event of 'Dhruva', held yesterday in Hyderabad, saw some politically-loaded comments being made, although in an oblique manner.

It all began with Posani Krishna Murali. Noting the presence of KTR, Posani indirectly took a swipe at the son of a Chief Minister even while hailing KCR's son as competence personified. "If it's true that a politician's son can automatically occupy a position, why are the sons of some Chief Ministers a failure?" he said.

When it was Ganta Srinivas Rao's turn, he made it clear that he would have wished for the event to be held in Vizag, but for the "influence" used by KTR to cajole Charan to hold it in Hyderabad. At this, KTR could be seen nodding his head in disagreement looking at Charan, with a smile on his face.

If this is state of affairs with the son's movie, what are we going to see with the dad's?
