A couple of days ago, Pawan Kalyan sparked a huge verbal brawl with his provocative comments on Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan and also the state government. "The government is planning to set up the online cinema ticketing portal just to pool in the financial resources and then approach banks in search of loans. This is all a big schematic implementation and the Telugu cinema industry should be aware of the same. It is high time that each and every one of us (Tollywood fraternity) speak against the oppression of the state government. Chiranjeevi recently requested the government. He is a good person at heart and that is the reason why he requested rather than demanding. Those in power will not listen if we request them. They will bow down only if we raise our voice for our rights," he said.
Pawan's comments drew a harsh response from the government on Andhra Pradesh and its representatives. The likes of Botcha Sathyanarayana, Perni Nani, Vellampalli Srinivasa Rao and others gave a strong reply to Pawan Kalyan.
Now, Nagarjun has opened up about Pawan Kalyan's comments albeit indirectly and in a cryptic manner. "The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are providing all possible support to the Telugu cinema industry right from the start. Bothe YS Jagan and KCR have shown their generous side to Telugu film industry. We hope that the support continues in the future as well. No other major states in the country barring Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have permitted the operation of cinema halls. This shows the kind of goodwill Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments have towards the Telugu cinema industry," Nagarjuna said.
At a time when Pawan Kalyan is solely targeting the government of Andhra Pradesh regarding the ticket prices and the proposed online ticketing portal, he is receiving absolutely zero support from the industry people. Nani and Kartikeya have tweeted in support of Pawan Kalyan but that is about it. No other major Tollywood personality has sided with Pawan Kalyan till now. Cut to now, Nagarjuna is saying the industry is receiving all the needed support from the governments of the Telugu states.
