Nandamuri Balakrishna is celebrating a significant milestone in his career—completing 50 years in the Telugu film industry. Balakrishna made his debut with the movie Tatamma Kala, and since then, he has become one of the most celebrated actors in Tollywood. To honor his illustrious journey, the industry is organizing a grand Golden Jubilee celebration on September 1, 2024.
The event is expected to be a star-studded affair, with invitations extended to numerous political and film personalities from both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, including the Chief Ministers of both states, Chandrababu Naidu and Revanth Reddy.
While most of the invited stars, including Chiranjeevi and Allu Arjun, have promised to attend the event, one prominent hero has declined the invitation. When the event’s committee members visited this star hero’s house to extend the invitation, he welcomed them warmly but refused to attend the ceremony. Despite the committee’s best efforts to persuade him, the hero remained firm in his decision, citing prior commitments.
This star hero, who belongs to one of the biggest families in the Telugu film industry and has made a name for himself in both cinema and business, reportedly has unresolved differences with Balakrishna. These differences have persisted for several years, despite efforts by various industry figures to reconcile them. The committee members had hoped that the significance of the occasion would bring the two stars together, but their hopes were dashed when the hero bluntly refused to attend the celebration.
Rumors suggest that the tension between Balakrishna and this hero, who is believed to be Nagarjuna, stems from past comments made by Balakrishna that offended the Akkineni family. The hero’s refusal to attend the event has left many industry insiders disappointed, as they had hoped the celebration would be an opportunity to mend old wounds.
