TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu is maintaining a low profile at present. On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan has been occupied with unexpected film projects.
The underlying reason is known to be the TDP's intention to grant Lokesh Naidu, the son of Chandrababu, ample exposure during his padayatra.
If Pawan were to embark on political tours in his Varahi vehicle, it would draw away the media and public's attention, thus diverting the focus from Lokesh.
To prevent this from happening, Chandrababu has instructed Pawan to refrain from making any political appearances until March.
As a result, Pawan has sought permission from Chandrababu to undertake film shoots in the meantime, which has been granted, as per the sources. Hence, PK is currently occupied with the pending film shootings.
The TDP's strategy to give Lokesh Naidu maximum exposure through his padayatra is a calculated move to strengthen his political standing.
By keeping Pawan occupied with his film projects, the TDP supremo ensures that the public's attention remains focused on Lokesh and his padayatra.
This move is a testament to Chandrababu's confidence in Lokesh's abilities and his desire to groom him as a future leader.
The padayatra titled 'Yuvagalam' is not only an opportunity for Lokesh to connect with the people and showcase his leadership skills but also a platform for him to establish his political credentials.
Will Lokesh use this opportunity and shows his best is the million dollar question.
Ultimately, it was Lokesh who came to the aid of the producers of Pawan Kalyan's films, who were struggling in the Tollywood and pleading for Pawan's availability to finish their shoots.
