One of the most sought after families in the Telugu cinema industry is the mega family comprising of Chiranjeevi and his two brothers Naga Babu, Pawan Kalyan. Then, there is Chiru’s brother-in-law Allu Aravind who plays a key role in their family affairs. While all that is the bright side, it is now being said that cracks have begun to form in the mega camp and differences have crept up due to politics and business.
Buzz is that things are not going fine between Chiru and his two brothers. For starters, it is the blind affinity of Chiru towards brother-in-law Allu Aravind which is growing with each passing day and that has set the trigger. But the larger impact was created due to the political differences. One can recall the active role Nagababu and Pawan Kalyan played during Chiranjeevi’s political debut. The brothers were always there to support the star. However, with Chiru’s recent decision to merge Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress, the brothers were reportedly unhappy.
Incidentally, Pawan Kalyan was all out for PRP and wanted to see his elder brother as the CM in the state. As a result, he spoke vehemently against the ruling Congress party. But now, with Chiru’s merger has left Pawan in an embarassed position, as per sources. Even during the audio launch of “Komaram Puli”, Pawan was all emotional about his big brother. But all that changed at the recent “Teen Maar” audio launch event. Pawan hardly took Chiru’s name and even the megastar was absent. As for Nagababu and Allu Arvind, they came and went in few moments. This comes as a surprise as the family used to heap praises on each other at an event like this earlier.
While politics is one side, even business seems to have created issues between the brothers. Notably, it was the flop of “Orange” which made Nagababu, the film’s producer keep distance from Chiru. The film was made on Anjana Productions, a banner launched by the three brothers and named after their mother Anjana. Buzz is that the flop of ‘Orange’ caused Nagababu financial losses. On the other hand, Chiru was fuming about the overshooting budget and the delay in release. In this process, Nagababu got closer to younger brother Pawan.
However, this has not stopped Pawan from doing his next film ‘Gabbar Singh’ in his newly launched banner and not in the regular Anjana productions banner. Pawan would be producing his own film. But then, Naga Babu from his end has reportedly given covering stating Chiru is busy with politics and there are no such cracks in the mega family. As for films being made in different banners, he said that Anjana Productions was always with him and anyone is welcome to release their film under his banner. He justified Pawan’s move to have his own production house and quashed about any differences.
Another example for the breakup symptoms is the recent wedding celebrations of Allu Arjun, son of Allu Aravind. While Chiranjeevi and his family were seen taking an active part throughout the week, Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu made a guest appearance and that too only on the wedding day. The final twist in the tale is Allu Aravind’s growing influence on Chiranjeevi. He produced several films with Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun and Charan on his “Geetha Arts” banner. Also, Aravind is a noted film distributor. But for “Teen Maar” sources say Aravind did not show much interest in the distribution of this flick.
An open secret is that Chiranjeevi doesn’t make a single move without consulting Aravind, his ‘right hand man’. So much that even his own brothers have to take an appointment from Aravind to meet Chiranjeevi, as per sources. Even Chiru’s decision to merge with the Congress was reportedly on behest of Allu. Sources further add that Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu are planning to join politics soon. The chances are that they might join a national party.
In view of all this, the buzz is that the mega brothers have few chances of bonding. In Andhra Pradesh, where fan following is based on either the caste of the star or his lineage, this will cause a deep dent in the fan base, as per observers. With time as the answer for all problems, even this would be known in the days to come.
