Nandamuri Balakrishna is one of the most popular actors in the Telugu industry. However, when it comes to giving controversial statements in public, he has often found himself to be in a spot of bother.

And now, he has invited a fresh controversy for himself when during an interview with a Telugu news channel he mentioned about not giving value to AR Rahman and also comparing Bharat Ratna to NTR’s toenail. He was quoted by Indian Express saying,

“I don’t know who is Rahman. I don’t care. Once in a decade, he gives a hit and gets an Oscar award. “All these awards are equal to my foot. No award can compensate for the contribution of my family to Telugu cinema. I feel Bharat Ratna is equal to NTR’s toenail. The awards must feel sad, not my family or my father.”
