Mega brother Naga Babu, in one of his recent interviews to a YouTube channel, made a controversial statement on Balakrishna. When the interviewer asked his opinion about Balayya, Naga Babu replied he is not aware of anyone with that name. This has now become a hot topic of discussion among everyone in film industry.

While Mega fans have interpreted this statement as a tit-for-tat reply to Balakrishna’s earlier statements on Pawan Kalyan, others have criticised Naga Babu for needlessly kicking up a controversy with his silly comments. It is well known that Naga Babu’s son Varun Tej is just now emerging as one of the promising young heroes from Mega clan. At this time, these needless controversial statements from Naga Babu might turn out to be a bad press on Varun’s image.

Through out his career, Naga Babu was under the shadow of his brother Chiranjeevi’s image and popularity. Also, he hardly succeeded as a producer. So, when his son Varun is making good strides and trying his best to carve out a niche, these silly comments have definitely come at a wrong time. Naga Babu should keep his mouth shut atleast for the sake of Varun Tej.
