Veteran top producer of Tollywood, Aswini Dutt shared his views on various issues in ‘Open Heart’ program conducted by a news channel recently. Having disclosed the close bonding between Chiranjeevi and his, the senior producer said, “I wanted to contest in elections as an MP in 2004. Hearing my request Chiranjeevi garu conveyed my wish to Chandrababu garu. And the response from the CM was great. I was offered Vijayawada MP ticket then.”
Political analysts, however, felt CBN had done that favour to Chiranjeevi as the latter was not in active politics then. “As and when Chiranjeevi launched PRP, CBN thought of every possible strategy to checkmate Chiranjeevi and tried to apply it through his pro TDP media and sending coverts in PRP. Moreover, he prompted AP NGOs to agitate against union ministers during state’s bifurcation.” analysts informed.
Further they added, “Having been intolerant with the craze generated on ‘Khaidi Number 150’, CBN denied permission for the conduct of pre release event of the film in Vijayawada and Guntur. He maybe worrying if Chiranjeevi shatters his hopes of winning the election battle again in 2019. All these factors led unrest on CBN which made him committing unwanted blunders.”
