Apparently, the Pongal trail is much more interesting since the two star heroes from the same family are locking horns at the box office. It is an open fact that NTR and Balakrishna are not in good terms and now this fight between their respective films is heating up the atmosphere in the Nandamuri compound.

On the other hand, the alleged personal rivalry between Nagarjuna and Balakrishna is also racking up the curiosity on this Sankranthi game. Amidst all the hullabaloo, the small budgeted film Express Raja is aiming to cash the season since a very low risk is involved.
