- Ironically, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi 150 film underlined the importance of farmers. The film,his comeback, not only became blockbuster but minted moolah of crores touching upon by highliting the issue. But why is Chiranjeevi maintaining stoci silence now?
- Veteran star Mohan Babu only raises his voice before AP elections asking then ruling TDP party to issue scholarships for students. But later, he was out of scene.
Disha Case
The recent grusome murder of Hyderabad veterinarian (26) was called out nation-wide. In fact, Tollywood fraternity including Jr NTR, Mahesh Babu condemned it. But why are they now apolitical?Not just Chiranjeevi, Mohan Babu but all the Tollywood heroes are only seen when they require something, but not at the need-of-the-hour.
