Ever since the organizers of 43rd International Film Festival of India( IFFI) ignored tollywood in the documentary, paying tribute to 100 years of Indian cinema during the opening ceremony of the festival, a noise was started from only a section of tollywood bigwigs. Though heroes and technicians from mega compound, ANR family and Rama Naidu families took this matter light, Balakrishna is heard to have fought big way on this matter as he wanted to show his mark in this festival at his best. An English newspaper supported to Balayya in this regard through a series of articles against IFFI. Finally, the organizers had to realize their blunder and selected two names to be the guest of honour for the closing ceremony of IFFI and those names were Balakrishna and Nagarjuna. However, Nagarjuna has reportedly rejected the offer knowing Balayya's interest attending the function as a chief guest. 

Meanwhile, Balakrishna too, reportedly decided to make use of this ceremony at the maximum extent for his personal and political benefits. He decided to introduce his son Mokshagna to the national and the international media. Moreover, he will praise late NTR and his services to the cine industry.
