Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Birthday celebrations took place today in Rama Krishna Cine Studios. Fans turned out in huge numbers from all parts of the state. On this occasion, Balayya’s new movie was launched. But the entire occasion was marred by two controversies. One – the opening dialogue, “Kondaru aasinchadanike pudatharu.. Kondaru sasinchatanike pudatharu..adira memu” stired controversy while people interpreted it as aimed at Mega family.

The second controversy is about the personal website, Nandamuri.com which was launched by the actor. The website contained no picture of NTR or his reference. Questions are being asked about this intentional missing while there are several rumours about the rift between the family members.
