Telugu film Industry paid tribute to NTR on his 85th birthday (28th May). Chandrababu Naidu and Nandamuri Harikrishna, who are presently in Tirupati for Mahanadu, celebrated NTR's birthday. Balakrishna, who is in Rajamundry for Okka Magadu, paid his tributes at a local statue of NTR. He later joined a rally organized by NTR fans. He spoke to the media and said that he is blessed to be born as the son of NTR. Talking about his daughter's (Brahmini) marriage with Lokesh (Chandrababu Naidu's son), Balakrishna said it is a personal matter and he is not going to comment on it. Also, responding to a question about his political entry (the recent buzz is that Balakrishna is going to contest from Tekkali near Srikakulam), he commented any thing can happen in future.
Meanwhile, here in Hyderabad, NTR and Dr. Akkineni Nageswara rao paid tribute to NTR at NTR Ghat.
