A Rift Between Balayya & Nag Is Still On!!!
At the TSR – TV9 awards ceremony in Vizag, Nagarjuna Akkineni said, “There are rumors that Balayya & I are not on the best of terms and that there is a rift between us. This is absolutely false! There is no problem at all,” said Nagarjuna Akkineni & Balayya also immediately put his hand over Nag’s shoulder in a friendly manner. Nevertheless, there are a few takers for Nag’s explanation! When Akkineni Nageswara Rao passed away, Balayya did not turn up to pay his last respects but sent his wife instead. And at the marriage of Balakrishna’s 2nd daughter, none from the Akkineni family was in attendance. Therefore, it was nice of Nag to attempt to scotch reports of differences between Balayya & himself. Maybe, they’ve patched up or decided to. But a rift did indeed exist between them although the exact reason for it is not known.
