Chiranjeevi is reported to have met the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu in secret recently. The meeting is reported to have taken place on the morning of August 21. Ashwini Dutt, a TDP part member, who is also close to Chiranjeevi is said to have worked as a mediator for the meeting.

Ashwini Dutt took Chiranjeevi in his car to Babu’s residence and Chiranjeevi and Babu had a one to one meeting for abut half an hour. Chiranjeevi’s wife Surekha and Babu’s wife Bhuvaneshwari are close family friends but the equation is now likely to change with the entry of Chiranjeevi into politics.
