Balakrishna Indirectly Claims Jr NTR Is Not Nandamuri’s Successor: “My Son My Grandson Who…”

Jr NTR is once again making headlines with his latest film, Devara, which is performing well at the box office.

After its first show, the movie initially received mixed reviews, but the feedback improved significantly as more people watched it. Currently, the film is doing very well at the box office, much to the delight of Nandamuri family fans.

However, recent comments made by Nandamuri Balakrishna at the 2024 IIFA Awards have stirred controversy among fans. In the Nandamuri family, Jr NTR has risen to fame after Senior NTR and Balakrishna, but unlike many other star kids Jr NTR didn’t have much support in the industry. He built his career through hard work and talent. Despite his success rumors have circulated about a growing rift between Balakrishna and Jr NTR.

Balakrishna’s comments at the IIFA Awards have added fuel to this speculation. During an interview at the event in Dubai Balakrishna spoke about his successors in the Nandamuri family but did not mention Jr NTR. When asked about the family’s future in the film industry Balakrishna said, “My son my grandson who else is there?” This omission of Jr NTR’s name caught many by surprise especially since Jr NTR is considered a prominent figure in Telugu cinema, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Senior NTR and his uncle Balakrishna.
