When the whole bunch of star heroes or at least one member from each star-family is present, Nandamuri heroes haven't even flashed the occasion. We are talking about the absence of one star-film-family at ANR's platinum year celebrations.

Almost all the faded heroes and aged stars are present at the felicitation ceremony of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. However, the absence of Nandamuri clan that includes Balayya, HariKrishna, Jr.NTR, Kalyan Ram and Taraka Ratna raised many doubts. Insiders revealed that T. Subbirami Reddy, the brain behind the felicitation program is responsible for their absence. TSR invited CM Kiran and Megastar Chiru is anyways his guest always, while Nagarjuna will surely attend. If you notice, these four belong to the same community, the Congress party.

Nandamuri family is a rival to them in the form of Telugudesam, while their 'aadapaduchu' Purandareswari is giving a tough time to TSR n Vizag though she is a Congress person. Keeping all these things in view, TSR might have skipped inviting the N-fraternity for the ceremony, say observers.
