As Senior comedian Ali joined YSRCP, it was the end of all speculations about his opportunistic politics until then. But looking at the past events, it is evident that most cine personalities want YSRCP to come to power due to pressure from KTR. Even Mahesh Babu expressed his personal feeling that he likes Jagan even though his brother-in-law Galla Jayadev is a TDP MP.
Actors like Jayasudha, Ali, Prudhvi, Posani, Krishna, Vijay Chander, Bhanu Chander, and Chota K Naidu have already conveyed their support to the party and its leadership on the advice of KTR. Now, Director Puri Jagannadh’s brother P Uma Shankar Ganesh is allotted with an MLA ticket from Narsipatnam. Puri Jagan has a good touch with Politics indirectly as his mother also contested as YCP Sarpanch lately, while her younger son and well-known actor Sairam Shankar went on campaigning for his mother.
It is a good omen that the party is equally balancing the goodwill and celebrity charisma. Till now Puri is not involved in it but the talk from political and cine circles is that he might campaign supporting his brother while the others opine that he is too busy with a handful of projects and he might not be able to do so. Now Puri is busy in directing Ram for 'iSmart Shankar’.
