Balakrishna, Pawan Kalyan trumpeting Sanatana Dharma for BJP.&nbsp; Till few decades back, talking of Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma was regarded as anti secularism and anti democratic.
The moment anyone spoke about it, all the parties branded them as RSS people, Sanghis or Sanatanis. Even the regional parties like TDP, BRS and others followed the same trend in the two Telugu states. KCR, chief of BRS used to target Hindus to attack BJP.
In the midst of all this, it is a surprising trend to see Natasimha Balakrishna and Power Star Pawan Kalyan trumpeting Sanatana Dharma on and off the screen and many feel that they are doing this to please the BJP bosses which are the ruling party at the Centre.
Pawan Kalyan came up with a period entertainer Hari Hara Veera Mallu in which he played the role of Veera Mallu who fights against the Aurangazeb and Moghuls turning the protector of Sanatana Dharma.
Now, Balakrishna came up with a socio fantasy entertainer Akhanda 2 Thaandavam in which he played the role of an Aghora talking about Hinduism, Hindu Dharma, Sanatana Dharma and he went two steps ahead talking about Vishwa Guru, Operation Sindhoor, Galwan battle etc.
Pawan Kalyan also sported saffron attire and went on Temple sojourn across the country to save temples and Sanatana Dharma. This shows how much extent, Pawan Kalyan as Jana Sena chief and Dy CM of AP and Balakrishna, as Hindupur MLA and brother in law of AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu are going all out competing with each other to be in the good books of PM Modi. It is known that these are the same people who during 2019 elections went hammer and tongs on PM Modi and BJP.

Mega Star Chiranjeevi is hailed as the best dancer in the country and he is known for his graceful dance moves. His son Ram Charan is continuing his father\'s legacy with his breathtaking dance moves.\r\nIn the midst of all this, both Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan are competing with crazy dance moves. Chiranjeevi is coming to entertain movie lovers with Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu and the songs Meesala Pilla and Sasirekha are trending on social media and his dance moves are becoming the talking point.\r\nRam Charan is starring in Peddi and his dance moves in the song Chikiri Chikiri spellbound all. Peddi producer Ravi Shankar Yellamanchili. &ldquo;Ram Charan wanted everything to be exceptional. He practiced tirelessly for the song, and his combination with A.R. Rahman has clicked in a big way. It&rsquo;s going to set new trends.&rdquo; He adds that the film itself &ldquo;has immense potential to connect with the masses.&rdquo; He says &ldquo;This is only the beginning,&rdquo;\r\nOn Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu, he says &ldquo;Both films are unique in their own way,&rdquo; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s wonderful to see Chiranjeevi garu&rsquo;s song also ruling the charts,&rdquo; says Ravi Shankar. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a fun musical competition for fans between a revered father and his son.&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;During post-production in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi garu personally supervised the finalisation of two songs. His dedication is extraordinary. His illustrious career stands on talent, hard work, and relentless professionalism.&rdquo;\r\nOn Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan\'s competition . he says &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unique in Tollywood. We believe Chiranjeevi garu will set new box office records this January with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, and we hope Ram Charan surpasses them in March with Peddi. It&rsquo;s all friendly because Charan deeply admires his father.&rdquo;\r\nWriter Kona Venkat shares &ldquo;Chiranjeevi effortlessly switches between larger-than-life mass roles and simple characters. After years of solo-hero films, he&rsquo;s now boosting multistarrers with actors like Ravi Teja and Venkatesh. He&rsquo;s doing a family drama now and will return with an action entertainer next&mdash;he knows how to balance it perfectly.&rdquo;\r\nA leading distributor says &ldquo;As of now, Ram Charan is ahead with pre-release business around â‚¹350 crore, while Chiranjeevi&rsquo;s stands at approximately â‚¹230 crore including OTT and other rights. Chiranjeevi never intends to compete with his son. Earlier this year, he even deferred the release of Vishwambhara to give space to Ram Charan&rsquo;s Game Changer. Both have strong business prospects, but a direct clash is very unlikely.&rdquo;
