Our readers are aware that Megastar Chiranjeevi is leading a group of Tollywood celebrities to appease Jagan and resolve the problem of ticket rates. NTR, Mahesh Babu, and Prabhas are among the notable names on the list. We have reliable information that he also summoned Balakrishna to join them.

Balakrishna, on the other hand, is said to have politely declined. "Without being harsh, Balakrishna recently informed Chiranjeevi that he has returned from a political trip in Hindupur and has been in isolation since then." He instructed him to go ahead with the meeting and bring him some good news," a source close to Balakrishna said.

"Balakrishna is a diehard TDP supporter who would not compromise. The makers of Akhanda were keen to get their film's prices raised. They attempted all they could to get Balakrishna to speak with Jagan. They assumed Jagan would provide rates in order to gain favour with the Nandamuris. But Balayya refused, even if it meant losing a lot of money," the insider stated. According to trade experts, Akhanda lost a solid 10-15 crore share as a result of this. "However," we're told, "he agreed not to make any political remarks about ticket prices until the situation is resolved."
