Inside talk is NTR biopic brought to the fore the differences and hatred of one community against another and is shocking all dividing Tollywood vertically. It is known that film industry remained in one community's hand till the entry of Chiranjeevi. With the growing stardom of Chiranjeevi, the influence of other community started and is now showing its power in the industry.

Mega family has more than a dozen heroes and theatres, producers, directors and technicians are supporting them quite strongly. Though the other community heroes too are there but they are feeling the void missing those early power. There's a saying that Kammas have BalaKrishna to show their power in real life, slapping their thighs with BalaKrishna's mass films. Though Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR are there, Kammas owned BalaKrishna because only he came near Chiranjeevi twice during box office battles.

Setting aside successes and failures, both are on equal path and BalaKrishna is still going strong at the same pace. Chiranjeevi too came back strongly to Tollywood after a decade long political stint. Though both group heroes are scoring hits, battle for supremacy is still on and it is getting exhibited at every opportunity.

Now rumors are spreading that NTR biopic Kathanayakudu exposed the rivalry. While one community is heaping praises on NTR biopic for elevating the standard of Tollywood paying rich tributes to the legendary personality, other community is coming with negative posts. 

Right thinking persons are finding fault with these wars as it is bringing down the reputation of Tollywood in the eyes of others as they are belittling their own films.
