Junior NTR spoiling the image of Senior NTR - JustTollywood.com News

Release time for ‘Brindaavanam’ is just one week away and troubles are starting to pop up for ‘Dil’ Raju with his title and movie stills at this final moment. Yesterday, we have seen one of the senior advocates complaining it in Balanagar PS about the damaging stills of ‘brindaavanam’ where in Junior NTR is insulting Lord Krishna with his untimely costumes romancing with two heroines Kajal and Samantha involved in skin show.

Today, ‘Yadava Sangham’ leaders and ‘ISCKON’ officials have come forward to directly criticize the stills of Junior NTR in the get up of Lord Krishna. ‘Why are Producers trying to tarnish the image of our Hindu Gods like Krishna? When Senior NTR valued the public sentiments and entertained them remaining as role model with his correct getups as Krishna and Rama; this Junior NTR is spoiling his grand father’s image by accepting this cheap roles and cheap costumes. Try to project our culture in a right way.

On behalf of Yadava Sangham, we will halt the release of ‘brindaavanam’ in Hyderabad if these stills and footage of Junior NTR in Krishna’s get up is not removed from the movie. We are to start our agitation in front of Dil Raju’s office and we will see that ‘brindaavanam’ title and Lord Krishna is not misused for their commercial success,’ said Yadava Sangham leaders.
