Nandamuri Balakrishna, one of the close associates of the Akkineni family and who even shares a great bondage with ANR calling him “Babai” is surprisingly missing from paying homage to ANR. Other members of the Nandamuri family, Hari Krishna, Jr. NTR, Kalyan Ram were seen at Annapurna Studios the day before. Even Balakrishna’s wife Vasundhara Devi was seen visiting the dead body along with Nara Rohit at Annapurna Studios except Balakrishna.
It was initially rumored that he is reportedly out of station on some official work with regard to his Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital but later it was known that the latest schedule of Legend shooting is due to start from today (i.e., 23rd Jan). So, apparently he needs to stay back in Hyderabad to attend the shooting. Now several questions are ripening upon his absence at the homage ceremony. There are speculations that Nagarjuna and Balakrishna are at loggerheads from quite some time due to a misunderstanding that aroused during an award function in the past.
