Nandamuri Family’s Support for Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Vishwak Sen: A Strategic Move in Tollywood?

Among the young Telugu heroes who have gained a good following among the youth, Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Vishwak Sen are at the forefront. Both these young heroes are currently riding high with a series of successes. Interestingly, they are receiving significant support from the Nandamuri family. Balakrishna and Junior NTR have been actively encouraging these young heroes, drawing attention by participating in their film promotions. While it is common for senior actors to support young talents in the industry, there seems to be a strong reason behind why Tarak and Balayya are backing Siddhu and Vishwak specifically. Let’s delve into the reasons behind this in this article.

Getting Close to the Young Heroes

Megastar Chiranjeevi has always been at the forefront in encouraging young actors. Now, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Junior NTR have joined this list. They are supporting young actors like Vishwak Sen and Siddhu Jonnalagadda. Recently, as part of a promotional event, Tarak conducted a special interview with these two heroes, along with director Koratala Siva. The interview garnered a lot of hype. Earlier, Tarak attended the success meet of a film starring Siddhu as the chief guest, where Vishwak was also present. Tarak created a buzz by taking photos with both of them. Recently, Balakrishna also met these two heroes, and they donated the amount they had announced for Vijayawada flood relief together with Balayya. Earlier, during the pre-release event of another film, Balakrishna praised Vishwak, calling them twins. Whenever there’s an opportunity, Tarak and Balayya are always seen supporting Siddhu and Vishwak.

Is There a Master Plan?

With many young heroes in the industry like Vijay Deverakonda, Adivi Sesh, Naveen Polishetty, Nikhil, and Kiran Abbavaram, there are speculations on why Balakrishna and Tarak are encouraging only Vishwak and Siddhu. There’s talk in the film circles that the industry is currently divided into two camps – Mega and Non-Mega. The Mega family has over half a dozen heroes, many of whom openly declare their admiration for Megastar. With this in mind, it seems the Nandamuri family is trying to create a group of their own by encouraging the upcoming stars like Vishwak and Siddhu, who have publicly expressed their admiration for the Nandamuri family several times, especially their fondness for Tarak. Tarak and Balakrishna appear to be keen on supporting them to form a group of their own.

Competing with Allu Arjun!

Allu Arjun has been supporting Vijay Deverakonda and his brothers right from the beginning. Their bond started with the film “Arjun Reddy” and has continued since then. Last year, Bunny attended the promotion event of a movie produced by Vijay’s brother. During a controversy involving the film “Baby,” where Vishwak was caught in the middle, Allu Arjun’s indirect comments reportedly put a lot of pressure on Vishwak. However, with Tarak’s support, Vishwak managed to get through the issue. While Tarak and Bunny share a good friendship, it seems they are forming their own groups by supporting different young heroes individually, according to film analysts.

Vishwak and Siddhu’s Upcoming Projects

Vishwak is currently busy with two films. He is working on “Mechanic Rocky” directed by Raviteja Mullapudi, where Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the female lead. The film is shaping up to be a comedy-action entertainer, with its second song recently released. Vishwak is also acting in the film “Laila,” directed by Ramnarayan, where he will be seen playing a female role. Apart from these, he is set to start projects “VS13” and “VS14” soon. On the other hand, Siddhu Jonnalagadda has three exciting projects lined up. He is working on “Jack” and “Telusu Kada.” After these, “Tillu Cube” will also go on the sets.
