Balayya said a dialogue targeting not only NTR fans but also Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu. ‘Bring the firewood… I won’t tell you much about this. On one occasion there was a fight in the industry. I will not go into its depths. But there the two fought. I am a legend, they said that I am a legend.. Who is a legend? One said that I have done so many films, another said that I have so much experience..
Who is the real legend? I have done so many different roles for 50 years.. Be it rural films, mythological films, faction films, folk films, science fiction.. there is no background that we have not stepped into. To all my audience gods, to all my fans… Legend is what I need to say No. Balayya gave a big dialogue saying, ‘You said it yourself..’
Although names are not mentioned here, everyone understood that Balakrishna mentioned about the legendary fight between Mohan Babu and Chiranjeevi during the Vajrotsavam of Telugu cinema. Mohan Babu’s remark that he has played different roles in more than 500 films, is a producer, a member of the Rajya Sabha, and the head of an educational institution is not recognized as a legend.
Chiranjeevi also reacted emotionally after these comments. Fans still remember Chiranjeevi’s comments that he won’t take this award until you tell him that he has got legendary status and will leave it here. Balayya fans are complaining that he made such comments before the release of the movie ‘Daku Maharaj’ and now what is the need to win the fans.
