Tollywood maintained silent throughout Chandrababu's current detention as well as YS Jagan's prior arrest and 16-month prison sentence. However, at the time, jagan was solely recognised as YSR's son, which many thought may have contributed to the quiet. Additionally, these celebrities have been utterly silent throughout some political events in telangana and andhra pradesh, thereby separating themselves from politics. The opposite side of the coin, though, tells something else.
Regarding Chandrababu, tollywood has a special relationship with him because of all the favours the tdp administration extended to the telugu Film industry in Hyderabad. Naidu's quick assistance helped a lot of celebrities, and several producers and filmmakers essentially built their careers on the work they did for TDP. Some artists and actresses who are currently successful in other parties had their political initiation and training exclusively under Naidu's guidance. One may question why such movie stars are currently remaining mute.
The simple, unrelated to work act of choosing a political position is a thing of the past. Currently, it appears that telugu actors and the telugu business do not want to be associated in any way with any political incident or politician, but some are blowing their flutes in order to satisfy their political employers in order to further their own political careers.
