NTR's baggage will scuttle Jagan's offer

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,July 23 2019]

The talk of the town is that YS Jaganmohan Reddy could extend an unexpected offer to Young Tiger NTR very soon. Thanks to the backroom plans made by Kodali Nani, the 'Aravindha Sametha' and 'RRR' actor could just be offered the role of Andhra Pradesh Tourism Department's brand ambassador.

However, Nani's efforts to woo his long-time friend may not pay off. When it comes to NTR, anything remotely political about him comes with a strong 'vamsham' baggage. He is still spiritually loyal to the party founded by his legendary grandfather. Thus, his unhealthy equations with Chandrababu Naidu are beside the point. His permanent equations with the late NTR are more relevant to the public, especially a particular caste group.

NTR acting as the tourism department's brand ambassador any time soon is remote perhaps. Something tectonic has to happen in politics for NTR to cozy up to Jagan.
