# Kodali Nani attends Chiranjeevi birthday celebration in Gudivada 2026-08-22T21:53:16+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kodali Nani, the YSRCP MLA from Gudivada known for his abusive language against TDP and Jana Sena leaders, attended megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday celebrations in his constituency on Wednesday. He participated in the event alongside local fans of the actor. This marks a shift in Nani's public behaviour. After the 2024 election defeat, he has noticeably toned down his rhetoric. For five years between 2019 and 2024, he frequently used harsh language against Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi's brother and Jana Sena chief. Political observers suggest this could be an attempt to mend ties with the influential mega fan base across the state. However, it remains uncertain whether fans will overlook his past attacks on Pawan Kalyan. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Kodali Nani was one of the most vocal YSRCP leaders during Jagan Mohan Reddy's term, often targeting Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan with personal abuse. His sudden softening and outreach to Chiranjeevi's fan network signals a possible realignment ahead of local body elections. The mega fan base is a vote bank in coastal Andhra, and winning them over could help YSRCP regain ground lost in 2024. Whether Nani's gesture translates into political gain depends on how genuine the shift is seen by fans who remember his past remarks. ## Coverage - m9.news Opens with a drama-first framing calling Nani 'most abusive', leads with the twist narrative rather than neutral reporting This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
