The first family to feel bad about Dasari Narayana Rao getting best actor award for Mestri seems to be Chiranjeevi’s.

In the first instance, the choice denied a likely best actor Nandi award to Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan. And the next, Dasari got the award for a film which was critical of Chiranjeevi’s political ambitions. The film, Mestri bombed at the box-office.

Chiru dismissed reports that his 150 film had been titled Adhinayakudu
