No plans to take political plunge, says King Nag

Nagarjuna got tongues wagging in the political and film circles with his casual remarks about politics but by the evening, denied that he had any intentions of plunging into politics. The actor was in the temple town on Saturday to inaugurate a jewellary showroom. While speaking to the media, Nagarjuna said that he is curious about politics but does not know whether he would fit the bill. “I am a keen observer of politics and feel like taking the plunge. But don’t know if I am suitable” he said.

His remarks left the political circles in a tizzy wondering whether he was taking the cue from fellow star Balakrishna, who recently started taking a more active role in the TDP. Political observers felt this as an inclination towards YSR congress party as the super hero is known to have been close to the former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
But before any one can make any formal invitations and conclusions about his entry into politics, the popular actor quickly corrected his version. Later at Tirumala, Nagarjuna brushed aside questions from the media on his earlier remarks and said: “I will not be joining politics; I only said I was curious about it.” None of the Akkineni family has joined the mainstream politics so far.
