Rajasekhar attacks Chiru verbally
Film star turned politician Rajasekhar is having a whale of time on TV channels attacking Chiranjeevi and his capabilities as a politician. Accompanied by his better half Jeevitha, Raja Sekhar categorically stated that he would rate the capability of Chiranjeevi as zero in politics. He also stated that Chiranjeevi might get 10 or 20 seats and his party would be rapped up by the time of next elections. Referring to the politicians who are joining in Chiranjeevi's party from the other parties, Raja Sekhar gave an example of a Tamil saying which means that the politicians joining Chiranjeevi party are like wives going to king after being dissatisfied by their husbands. He said that all of them would suffer. "Chiranjeevi enjoyed all luxuries in film industry. When he says that he drew inspiration from Mother Theresa, Jyothi Rao Pule, and Ambedkar, these people were in fact not connected to politics. It shows that Chiranjeevi's entry into politics is basically mooted out of selfishness. When he has failed to serve the film fraternity, what service would he be doing to the public?" he questioned.

Posani warns Chiru's critics
Director and actor Posani Krishna Murali reacted sharply to the criticism against PRP President Chiranjeevi. He said that those who questioned the authenticity of Chiranjeevi entering politics were in fact not influential people. "Who are these people? I suggest them not to make unnecessary comments against Chiranjeevi. If they continue to mud-slinging, then we will come into direct picture. And once we start talking about them (critics of Chiru), we will almost torture them and kill them with our words," Posani maintained.

I don't want image: Jagapati Babu
Jagapati Babu said that he doesn't want any image attached to him. Talking to the media in Hyderabad, he said that he was one and the only hero in the industry who could do any role without image-consciousness. "It depends on my sheer judgment what kind of characters I should do. Even in RGV's film Raksha, I am not the hero, but just one of the characters. I will continue follow this trend," he said.
