Balakrishna will enter politics soon, says Tarakaratna

A day after Nandamuri Balakrishna announced that he was not averse to joining politics if his fans want him to, his nephew Nandamuri Tarakaratna has said yesterday that his uncle would definitely enter politics some day. But we can't say when exactly, he added. Tarakaratna attended a party function in Cuddapah district yesterday. And speaking on the occasion, he told the people that Balakrishna would definitely enter politics and it was very soon.

CLASSIC TARAKARATNA SPEAK: I might come into politics, I might not enter politics, too

Politicians are not the only species who have mastered the art of doublespeak. Actors are equally adept in the art. When a news reporter asked Nandamuri Tarakaratna, who is currently in Ananthapur, whether he would enter politics, he neither said 'yes' nor 'no' but equivocated with this typical answer: "At the moment I am not ready to enter politics. But, in the future, I might take up politics and I might not take up also." What an answer Tarakaratna? If you don't know about your future, which none of us too are aware how it is, why take the trouble of talking about the future? And giving such stupid answers. Just say I can't say anything about the future. But, did he ask you anything about the future? No. Then why are you trying to show off as if you are a great spokesman of a great party. On the aside, Tarakaratna is presently acting in a Tamil-Telugu bilingual Mukkanti, which is likely to complete shooting by the end of the month. He is also doing one more film with V Samudra, called Venkatadri, the shooting of which will start in August.
