Talk
about
Nandamuri
Balakrishna,
and
one
is
reminded
of
his
excellent
performances
and
strong
statements,
that
show
no
diplomacy.
His
sharp
remarks
have
always
pushed
him
into
controversies
but
it
seems
like
the
actor
is
in
no
mood
to
back
off.
His
recent
remark
on
the
Telugu
film
industry's
meeting
held
with
the
Telangana
government
sparked
a
new
controversy.
Balakrishna
was
evidently
not
happy
with
the
meeting
spearheaded
by
Megastar
Chiranjeevi.
A
video
of
the
same
has
been
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media
in
which
the
senior
actor
is
clearly
expressing
his
discontent
over
not
being
invited
to
the
meeting
held
for
demanding
lockdown
relaxation.
Responding
to
the
same,
Naga
Babu
had
lashed
out
at
the
actor
and
demanded
an
apology
for
using
unparliamentary
language
in
public
and
insulting
the
government.
Well
now,
in
a
recent
interview,
Balakrishna
has
come
up
with
brand-new
comments
around
the
controversy.
He
added
that
he
is
not
ready
to
respond
to
Naga
Babu's
comments
though
he
is
talking
a
lot
about
him
these
days.
Talking
about
the
lockdown
relaxation,
the
senior
actor
said,
"Government
is
interested
to
resume
shoots
because
we
are
one
of
the
highest
tax-paying
industries."
He
added
that
it
is
impossible
to
shoot
in
the
current
situation
during
the
COVID-19
outbreak
and
further
said,
"Many
think
that
the
Telangana
government
is
favourable
to
the
industry,
but
they
(the
Telugu
film
industry)
couldn't
get
access
to
two
acres
of
land
for
the
industry." He
also
said
that
Chiranjeevi
and
others
went
to
Dallas
to
buy
acres
of
land
worth
Rs
5
crore,
to
which
he
doesn't
want
to
comment
upon
further.
On
the
professional
front,
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
is
currently
working
with
director
Boyapati
Srinu
for
an
action
drama.
Earlier,
there
were
rumours
that
the
makers
might
consider
the
title
Monarch
for
the
film,
but
later,
the
makers
rubbished
the
buzz.
The
movie
will
have
Balakrishna
essaying
the
role
of
an
agora.
The
actor
is
also
said
to
be
a
part
of
the
Telugu
remake
of
Prithviraj-Sukumaran-starrer
Malayalam
film
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum.
