Nagarjuna Meets Narendra Modi To Seek LS Ticket For Amala

After Power Star Pawan Kalyan, another popular Telugu actor has declared his support to BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. He is none other than Akkineni Nagarjuna, who met the leader in Ahmedabad on this evening (March 24). Sources close to the actor says that the star was there to seek Lok Sabha ticket for his wife Amala Akkineni.

For that last few days, political and film circles were abuzz with speculations that the actress-turned-activist is keen to contest Lok Sabha elections from Vijayawada. Amala Akkineni held talks with senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu during last few days. It was immediately not clear if Nagarjuna would also take a plunge into electoral politics.

Son of thespian Akkineni Nageswara Rao, who died recently, Nagarjuna is one of the top actors of Tollywood. Nageswara Rao was never interested in politics, but the family maintained good relations with TDP and Congress when they were in power.

Nagarjuna is meeting Modi two days after Pawan Kalyan met the Gujarat chief minister in Ahmedabad to extend his support. The Power Star, youngest brother of central minister and Congress leader K Chiranjeevi, floated a political party Jana Sena March 14 and called upon people to bury the Congress.
