Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan has been facing backlash for criticising Superstar Krishna in his address during a recent political rally.

As part of election campaigning, Pawan Kalyan is addressing the political rallies and seeking votes for the party's candidates. During one such rally, Jana Sena leader started comparing the alleged political differences between the two veteran actors NTR and Krishna. He was accompanied by the Andhra Pradesh BJP chief D Purandeswari, who is also a daughter of former chief minister and TDP founder NT Rama Rao.

Vijaya Nirmala's son and senior actor VK Naresh expressed shock over Pawan Kalyan’s controversial remarks against the Superstar Krishna. Mahesh Babu has not responded to the controversy yet.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Naresh said, “super star late Krishnagaruis known to have a heart of gold and a parliamentarian with ethics…. He never changed alliances nor criticised anyone personally in his political speeches.”

Meanwhile, social media users have called out Janasena leader for his unwarranted remarks about the Telugu film industry’s icons. They said Pawan Kalyan should not use their names for political gains. A few netizens slammed him for comparing two legends and drawing his conclusions.
