Tirupati Laddu Controversy Escalates Amidst Political and Personal Feuds

The ongoing controversy surrounding the discovery of animal fat in Tirupati Balaji Prasad has taken a new turn, with prominent figures engaging in heated exchanges. The issue, which has sparked widespread concern and debate, has been further complicated by personal and political rivalries.

Senior actor Prakash Raj, known for his outspoken views on social and political matters, responded to a tweet by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan regarding the findings. Raj questioned the need for Kalyan to “blow up the issue nationally,” suggesting that such actions could exacerbate communal tensions.

Pawan Kalyan’s fans quickly rallied to his defense, criticizing Raj for his comments. Joining the fray, MAA President Manchu Vishnu, a rival of Raj in recent elections, expressed his support for Kalyan. Vishnu emphasized the significance of Tirumala Laddu as a symbol of faith for millions of Hindus and urged Raj to refrain from spreading unnecessary fear.

Raj, however, remained unyielding in his stance. In response to Vishnu’s comments, he reiterated his perspective while also taking a jab at Vishnu’s upcoming film, “Kannappa,” which has been the subject of online ridicule.

The escalating feud between Raj and Vishnu has further intensified the controversy surrounding the Tirupati Laddu incident, highlighting the complex interplay of personal, political, and religious factors in shaping public discourse.

Devara Sets New Benchmarks with Record-Breaking Pre-Sales

The highly anticipated pan-India film Devara, starring Jr. NTR in dual roles, is set to make its mark with unprecedented pre-sales figures that rival other major Telugu releases. The film has already generated significant buzz in both the Telugu states and North America, where advance ticket sales have reached impressive heights.

Devara is currently projected to earn around $2.4 million in its premiere, placing it fifth among the highest-grossing Telugu premieres in North America. Based on current trends, industry experts believe the film is likely to secure a top-three spot by the end of its opening day. The advance bookings have been remarkable, with reports indicating that it has sold over 2,407 tickets across just 19 locations in the U.S. This showcases a strong demand that bodes well for its box office performance.

Jr. NTR is actively promoting Devara through a tour in the U.S., including a special screening at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles. This promotional effort is expected to enhance audience interest and attendance at theaters. The film’s release is strategically timed to coincide with a festive season, which could further contribute to higher viewership numbers and overall box office success.

As Devara gears up for its release on September 27, it stands poised to become one of the biggest openings for Jr. NTR as a solo lead actor. With a talented cast that includes Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, along with director Koratala Siva’s vision for an epic narrative, expectations are high for this film to not only perform well but also leave a lasting impact on audiences both in India and abroad.
