During the last weekend senior actor Rajendra Prasad visited Tirumala and offered prayers to Lord Venkateswara Swami. Coming out of the temple as usual media surrounded him and he was asked why the biggies of the Telugu Film Industry are not meeting AP CM YS Jagan.
To this Rajendra Prasad replied that there is no urgency to meet AP CM. “As Jagan is the new CM, he needs time to settle down probably for a month or two. Usually, people with business interests would like to meet CM whereas artists have nothing of that sort. The film industry doesn’t have issues or concerns but if there are any, we will take them to CM’s notice,” said RP. He also said that he would personally meet Jagan soon.
Comedian Prudhviraj who was recently appointed as the chairman of SVBC found fault in Rajendra Prasad’s statements. “The film industry would have felicitated Chandrababu if he had become the CM for the second time. As CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy did a lot for the film industry yet the people in TFI are not liking, Jagan becoming the CM. That’s why they refused to even congratulate him. Hereafter if anyone says something bad about Jagan, will rip them apart,” said Prudhvi.
Seems like Prudhvi is taking things very serious as there is nothing wrong in Rajendra Prasad’s comments but somehow the former felt offensive in it.
