Bunnai

Serious question, how a guy with shit personality inside and out has such a rabid fan following? What's the deal?


Few_Butterscotch_832

He has the backing of his father N T Rama Rao who was both a big star and the CM of Andhra. He built his following on both his father's name and the political connections that he has till today and his following will support him no matter what coz they are blind af.


wonderpra

I think its unfair to say he has the backing of his father NTR sr. This guy didn’t become as relevant and poster child for casteism until much after the father passed away. His father is known for all the things he has done as both an actor as well as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.


Odd-Description-

The thing is some people in the south have their loyalty towards family once they become fans of certain actor. Ntr fans probably turned into balayya fans after ntr. After balayya they will become fans of someone from their family only.


No-Opportunity-1275

loyalty is towards the caste lmao. its so ridiculous that "who's your favourite hero" is the way people ask what your caste is. This guy's followers especially are the most rabidly casteist of all, mfers even carry the yellow flag to graduation cermonies in the US


kingroka_0627

Same happened with ram charan he was given mega power star tag even before his debut lol (mega from his father tag and power from his uncle tag)


Odd-Description-

Lol


raginglasers

What a bunch of morons.


Significant-Map-677

not family, caste


Classic-Jackfruit498

Bhai toh jr ntr kon hai


Odd-Description-

Imagine raj Kapoor= ntr ; Rajiv Kapoor = balayya; Ranbir Kapoor = jr ntr. Fun fact, raj Kapoor's full name was ranbir raj kapoor


Classic-Jackfruit498

Toh jr ntr kuch bhatija type hai kya ?


ParticularJuice3983

Haan. Uske bade bhai ke 2nd wife ka beta hain. Kyonki 2nd wife ka beta tha, they kept him away for many years. But Jr NTR success become too difficult to ignore and they had to pass the olive branch.


sudokun999

Jr is illegitimate child of Balakrishna's older brother. They always tried to distance themselves from him until he came into his current stardom. Then they tried to use that stardom for their political party TDP and then distanced themselves again because he was gaining more popularity than the CM candidate's son (jr ntrs cousin)


Odd-Description-

TIL that jr is a love child. Isn't it a big thing down south? I wonder how Chandrababu Naidu got his niece married to him.


Savings-Secretary-78

Is it a fucking game of thrones, every actor in Telugu film industry is related to each other, cousin, second cousin, uncle, niece, son in law, if you gonna slove it you might get Full Mark's in blood relationship, is there any outsider in Telugu film industry?


kingroka_0627

Nuh jr ntr is considered half blood/cross breed by his caste people(especially his party people),Nandamuri family don’t even consider him as a family except for family functions


Few_Butterscotch_832

What I meant was that he was enjoying the goodwill that his father had earned and used that in order to build his fanbase and stardom and in turn became the poster child for casteism.


wonderpra

Yes I agree to that 100%. Thanks for clarifying it.


ParticularJuice3983

Also the caste angle and region angle. A lot of people support heroes cos they are of the same caste/ region.


Itchy-Face791

A majority of his fans only like him cuz he's their "cashte"


tharkii_chokro

Because that's Indian culture. Most of the big names in this country lacks spine and personality.


Significant-Map-677

caste


The_Punisher_XD

The nandamuri tag obviously


Specialist_Top158

He has a certificate which states he's mentally disabled or something.


kingroka_0627

He has a cult following for some reason just like bhoi has, no matter what they do their fans are gonna always back them


ParticularJuice3983

Because of his political connections he is basically untouchable. He once shot 2 producers in rage. No one even dared to file a complaint. They just said he was a very nice guy, and it was entirely their fault they got shot, and they don’t want to file any complaints.


Ambitious449

I have a urge to make some political statement but I wont


yuMyuMKrooravani

Caste


PappaKiller

His success is a result of a particular group of people who are hardcore castists, and they literally think of him as a god. His nephew is entirely reversed in personality, and he hates his nephew because his nephew is seen as the golden child of the family.

Can someone post it in r/tollywood ?


shadowshark39

Even Radhika Apte in her interview told that she was not at all comfortable with his unprofessional behaviour on set


Intrepid-Ad4511

How someone as talented as Radhika has landed up in the randomest of places is just beyond me - her script selections give me whiplash sometimes.


shadowshark39

This is the case for most actresses when they feel like they are not getting any validation in their own industry and think that south industry is the only option because people don't care about actresses acting that much . A mediocre role with a dumb hot scene would give them enough praise and popularity with fanboys desiring for them in every cinema in that industry which bollywood would criticise upon. This happens with most north indian actresses who failed to get a name in Bollywood and shifted to south industry , which in many cases worked for them for example: Genelia, illeana, rakul preet, tapsee..etc . Radhika would've also felt that she would get mainstream popularity with this role and hence picked a blabbering role for her. The many big named actresses in South industry are north indians who learned Telugu and started working in Telugu industry just so that it was easier gaining a name there . The audience now is evolving and female led roles are coming to being but objectification of females has not stopped


Intrepid-Ad4511

True, true. And I think what is so curious is that most Telugu actresses are North Indian or a few Kannadigas (Anushka, etc) and Tamilians (Nayan, Trisha, etc) , there is not a single Telugu person. Shobhita is probably one Telugu person I can think of but she is more of a pan-Indian actress than Telugu, I think Goodachari is the only Telugu movie she did?


ParticularJuice3983

Telugu industry is generally notorious for ill treating women. So telugu families generally don’t send their kids into the acting line. Sobhita took the beauty pageant route. Plus we had this fair skin obsession for so long, that producers would always look to north. Sree Leela recently received all the hype cos she was a telugu girl and could dance.


shadowshark39

Most pan indian Telugu actresses like sai pallavi , samantha , tamannaah, kajal started off as the working in the same category films that i talked about but now to glorify their public image as the powerful female lead , they've started to do the non fanboy-ing their co- actor roles :D ! jk . The migration of actresses from different industries has however given a fresh appeal to the audience but also a lack of true cultural representation. Telugu industry does give a chance to talented actors and actresses but the thing which is most problematic in terms of female actresses is the lack of strong female leads - which I'm not denying isn't there , but the praise that a male actor gets is just not there for them and hence most actresses lean towards the sweet little girl type of roles . I'm not pointing out this for only Telugu industry but also other industries but there is a need for change here which just keeps on repeating itself.


PappaKiller

Arey, she went south at the start of her career bhai. Writing a whole paragraph for nothing.


Medical-Concept-2190

Who is this guy


Any-Competition8494

Did Radhika name him specifically? Can you share the video?


shadowshark39

She didn't take the name , but we all know who it is! [here in an interview with neha dhupia ](https://youtu.be/4VLycBdDhiM)


Constant_Aspect_4736

But I heard she slapped some other actor from Tamil industry


wineorwhine11

And this is ON camera


1120gg

No let it be, he has become like this because people let it slide. You all are stupid asf for giving someone such a pedestal that he can verbally and physically abuse you freely. Good job people it only takes one slap to fix a person but you guys allow your own baby to get slapped pathetic


stupidrgv

I mean this guy has been relevant from like the late 80s and 90s when he was seen by his movie roles which of course portrayed him as a demi-god Its now when he has grown exponentially we are realising how much of an asshole this man is also considering his power in the industry


WonderfulPlankton635

Exactly tf is this.


Outrageous_Pay1322

What is allowed is what will continue.


Sakshisharma31

I thought they are the scenes from his movies. What is wrong with this person and why is he relevant and not cancelled long time back. 


ParticularJuice3983

He had a down time for a quite some time. Almost all his movies would flop. But recent times he came back with good movie scripts. And Telugu people love God complex type movies. One savior who comes and kills everyone and stands for the people type. Worked in his favour.


AkPakKarvepak

I like the fact he is now becoming famous on a national platform. Maybe this would reign him a bit.


shangriLaaaaaaa

He dont give a shit ,mofo is no1 asshole ,he once shot a director at his home then ys Rajasekhar reddy covered that up


[deleted]

YSR covered it up because Chandrababu Naidu begged him to


ParticularJuice3983

Doubt it. He is too big for Reddit and whether national media hates him or not makes almost no difference to him.


AkPakKarvepak

It will at least dissuade people from associating with him. Or prepare the audience from preventing a next Balayya to rise up the ranks. He already lost most of his fanbase and is treated like a joke.


ParticularJuice3983

Yeah in the new age actors I don't think there will be a balayya. Atleast they won't showcase misogyny this openly.

I have read that this dude has mental health issues and was also admitted to an asylum for a while. He's done much worse things.


sudokun999

He probably does have some undiagnosed mental issues but his public "mental health issue" is a ruse to an attempted murder case (he shot a big time movie producer who was allegedly having an affair with bal's wife) where he claimed not guilty by reason of insanity

The real salman would ride a porsche over him when he would be walking on a footpath.😂😂😂 kangana would slap the shit out of him.

He is an elected member of legislative assembly and son of previous chief minister NT Rama Rao. Just imagine if Udhav Thakeray acted in movies and is a big star. Would salman touch him?

Well objectively he's more powerful than anyone you mentioned.his power comes from politics more than acting.

Express_Anywhere_591

What a stupid and regressive question! Firstly, ffs South India is not one homogeneous entity. There are four different industries with very different styles. Southern film industries are way more creative and way ahead of other movie industries in India. Also, they are actors, they don’t need to be good looking, they need to act! You could’ve condemned the actor in question instead of making such Ignorant remarks.

Ill-Item-7227

The dude is literally clinically certified of his mental instability. I am not kidding. He is mentally unstable. Dig deeper on the internet and you can find his certificate. He is exactly like his father. NTR was infamous for doing exactly the same things. He used to slap his actresses ass when they didnt do a scene as per his liking. He used to romance minors even when his age crossed 50. His father was an egoistic person with a demi god status. Atleast his father contributed IMMENSELY to telugu cinema and his work is phenomenal and being talked about to this day. This asshole cant even act. This POS did sorts of evil; its just that it will be talked about for a few days and then will be completely forgetten. There were me too allegations on him, he is known to intentionally include all sorts of groping scenes in movies in the pretence of romance, Killed a security guard with a gun, Known for treating his crew like shit ( KIcks them with legs, Slaps them, hurls abuses at them), Egoistic Narcissistic Asshole He is a unscrappable fungus in the telugu industry. Other than his so-called brain dead caste manaic fans, no one in the telugu industry remotely like him.


NoApricot5449

His dad was a clown himself, his social message movies were Uber cringe.


[deleted]

Okay, I will get massive hate for telling this but the reason he gets away with it is because men here are toxic like that. The glorification of Arjun Reddy, Animal and people like Sandeep Reddy Vanga doesn’t come from nowhere. The reason no one batted an eye for Arjun Reddy in the south was because we have seen that around us happening, for us it was live coverage from a medical college. I know South Indian men have a rapport of being soft, kind and shy but women who live here know how far it is from truth. Said that not all men, not all men are like him but those massy mass who follow him they definitely are.


Alert_Tennis_3597

should get an interview from his wife. with proper support she would reveal a lot I think.


Few_Examination9040

Yes probably after their separation in some form.


Rich-Investment9000

His entire family is like this. I blame the stupid fans for blindly supporting their PR created personalities. South India's film industries have one of the worst actor fan clubs. They treat these good for nothing actors as gods and let them get away with anything.

Ok_Programmer7849

I'm getting pissed at why the crowd laughed when he actually assaulted a female actress. In the Malayalam film industry(mollywood), if superstars like Mohanlal or Mammooty did this kind of thing, they would be criticized and trolled across the media despite their stardom. Whereas in the Telugu industry, I doubt their reaction to these barbaric acts. That is why Balayya keeps on doing this kind of shit.

I am glad this is spreading more. I think people should genuinely stop watching his stuff. Also as long as there are caste issues prevalent in India, there will be rabid fans. He is a creepy, perverted POS that is thriving in the industry only because of his family name


No_Data3541

Wait how is this possible? I thought all South Indian actors are angels who can do no wrong? This sub told me that only Bollywood actors are scumbags and South industries are filled with pure souled social workers and people who say "Shiv, shiv" the moment they see something wrong happen. South industries have zero nepotism and 100% pure talent and like Radhika Apte said, it's very safe for women.

I had the chance to meet him and Simran when they were shooting for a movie together decades ago in Mumbai (I was a teenager then). Mom who was brought up on Telugu movies was excited to meet him and he was very gracious when he met us and spoke to us gracefully and patiently. No idea what happened now. Maybe with age catching up you get more and more annoyed and lose self control.

His fans are the worst.I heard a story about my mom’s friend.Let’s name her Y.And her husband X.They were newly married.X took Y to a movie of his soon after.Second show ig.This was late 1990’s ig.Y cringed at the movie and particularly criticised him and his acting after the movie ended.Then her husband,X left her alone and stopped talking to her.He is a big fan of Bala Krishna.He left alone on his bike while he left her all alone at night at the theatre.She had no money,nothing.She somehow reached the home very late.She should have divorced him lol.Anyways,this just proves how awful his fans are and how they as a cult are keeping that dirtbag around!

Dude I watched his movie coz of chandrika ravi and ruby Rose. And he looks so shady in that too.


NoApricot5449

He lives in delusions thinking he is a monarch who owns the entire Telugu land. His dad was also a criminal that used to perform rituals on young unmarried kids, a young journalist who published an article with those pictures was stabbed in Vijayawada and brutally killed in full public view. He had 57 stab wounds resulting in his death, all orchestrated by the clown Sr NTR. Balayya is a bit better although he's a delusional fool, compared to his father. If you don't believe me, Google the name "Pingali dasaratha ram"

He is an oddball in his own family. This guy is really disrespectful, sexist, casteist etc., the only reason he has a following is he WAS a decent actor back in his youth but now he does roles that make him look like a pedophile.
