He is one of the biggest stars in the South Indian film industry and has a cult fan following in Telugu states. Traffic stands still if he steps out even for a moment.
The star always boasts of encouraging local talent. At two recent film functions, he spoke about the directors of those movies hailing from small towns in Telugu states.
He also questions governments for not generating employment for the youngsters.
However, a close member of the star has spilled an interesting aspect of this star. He never hires a Telugu-speaking person as his driver.
The driver has to be from North India or a non-Telugu guy. He hires only them.
The source adds that they have never seen a Telugu driver working for the star. Does he fear that the secrets would be leaked if the driver is a Telugu person?
He frequently travels within Telugu states on his vehicle and he talks to various film and political celebrities over the phone during his travels.
Probably, he feels safe having a non-Telugu guy driving him.
