Power Star Pawan Kalyan, chief of Jana Sena, sparked a mix of reactions from the public and the entertainment industry with a statement made during his election campaign. In his speech, he discussed the late actor and politician Sr. NTR's interactions with other actors, noting, "Though Sr. NTR was very famous, not all actors supported him politically. A few of them were in Congress. Krishna Garu used to criticize Sr. NTR Garu, but NTR Garu always remained silent. He never said a word against Krishna Garu. Though I had differences with TDP, they never caused trouble for my films."

However, this comment didn't sit well with fans of Krishna Garu, a respected senior actor and politician. In response, actor Naresh, who is closely related to Krishna Garu, expressed his disappointment with Pawan Kalyan's remarks on Twitter. Naresh wrote, "I was shocked & deeply pained to see/hear Mr. Pawan Kalyan criticize superstar late Sri Krishnagaru in his address. Krishna Garu is known to have a heart of gold & a parliamentarian with ethics. His contribution to the film industry & politics is immense. He never changed alliances nor criticized anyone personally in his political speeches."

Pawan Kalyan's supporters defended him, urging Naresh to watch the complete video before forming opinions. This exchange has further intensified the political atmosphere in Andhra Pradesh, especially with elections approaching. The ongoing dialogue between these prominent figures has sparked discussions among their fan bases, underscoring the intricate dynamics of the entertainment and political landscapes in the region. As the political climate heats up, many are keen to see how these statements and reactions might sway voter sentiment. With the final electoral showdown drawing near, the ramifications of these public exchanges could influence the political narrative in Andhra Pradesh. It has to be seen how these developments will snowball in the coming days.
