After a few Tollywood Directors and Heroes met Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as the gap between the two parties is widening, one wonders why senior hero Nandamuri Balakrishna was absent for the meeting when other senior hero Megastar Chiranjeevi attended the meeting.

After a long time, Nandamuri Balakrishna had opened up on the issue. A few media outlets said that the Actor responded to the issue and said that despite getting an invitation, he had turned down the invitation and decided to not attend the meeting.

I was invited to the meeting. But I have told them that I will not meet the Chief Minister and informed them of the same. I have made it clear that there is no question of meeting the Chief Minister on the tickets issue, Balakrishna reportedly said as per the media reports.

Making his stand strong, Nandamuri Balakrishna said that he had decided to go for the release when the movie tickets were very low. Akhanda proved our decision right and made producers happy. Why meet the Chief Minister then, Balayya Babu is believed to have said.
