Why Naga Vamsi and Bobby clarified, but Balakrishna didn’t?

The recent episode of Unstoppable with NBK featuring Balakrishna, director Bobby and music director Thaman has stirred controversy among fans. During the conversation, Jr. NTR’s name was noticeably absent, particularly when discussing Bobby films. The omission of Jai Lava Kusa disappointed NTR’s fans, leading to accusations that Balakrishna intentionally avoided mentioning his nephew.

To address the backlash, director Bobby clarified in a recent press meet that the omission was purely coincidental. He explained that Balakrishna has always appreciated Jr. NTR’s performance in Jai Lava Kusa and had discussed the film with him on multiple occasions.

Producer Naga Vamsi also stepped in to diffuse the tension. He revealed that during a break in the film shoot, Balakrishna himself suggested that Jr. NTR would be an ideal choice for a lead role in one of their discussions. Naga Vamsi urged fans not to misunderstand the situation and assured them that there was no ill intent behind the omission.

Despite these clarifications, Balakrishna’s silence on the matter has fueled further speculation. Fans are questioning why Balakrishna has not addressed the issue directly if there is no rift between him and Jr. NTR. This lack of acknowledgment has left fans wondering if there is more to the story than what has been shared.

As the controversy continues, fans are divided over the intentions behind the omission. With Daaku Maharaaj set to release soon, it remains to be seen if this situation will impact the film’s success or if the clarifications by Bobby and Naga Vamsi will bring peace among the fan bases.
