Revanth Reddy, the Chief Minister of Telangana, seems to have created an atmosphere of fear in Tollywood when it comes to his power.
To recall a flashback episode, during the Pushpa 2 pre release event, Allu Arjun forgot to mention Revanth Reddy’s name, and everyone knows what followed.
After the Sandhya Theatre stampede claimed the life of a woman, Allu Arjun was sent to judicial remand for a day.
Many connected both incidents, believing that if Revanth’s ego is hurt, he can use the system against those involved in other issues. This seems to be the strong belief in Tollywood circles.
Yesterday’s development strengthened this perception.
During the War 2 pre release event, NTR spoke at length, pleasing fans, but forgot to thank the Chief Minister who had granted permission for the event and arranged police protection with traffic diversions.
Later, NTR released a separate online video thanking CM Revanth Reddy, Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and the entire police force for their support.
This clearly shows that someone alerted NTR to his oversight, prompting quick damage control.
Whether good or bad, Revanth Reddy has undeniably set a standard of fear in Tollywood regarding his influence.
