Over the past week, there has been huge buzz surrounding the political debuts of NTR and Allu Arjun. However, the official teams of both stars have dismissed those reports.

We do not know what the stars are thinking but fans of the actors down South have started thinking about their Political Debuts ever since Vijay succeeded.

There has been a Talk that People will no longer support film stars in Politics after the failures of Rajinikanth, Kamal Hasaan, and Pawan Kalyan (in 2019). But then, the Opinion has changed after Vijay became CM.

Now the question is will NTR and Allu Arjun succeed in Politics?

The advantage for both of them is their film popularity. For NTR, his oratory skills and Political legacy are massive plus points. But then, the challenges are even bigger.

Firstly, there are three major Political forces in Andhra Pradesh Politics. There is no fatigue over the parties as in the Tamil Nadu Politics. So, a fourth alternative is not easy to emerge.

AP is a Caste-ridden Society. Every Major Caste has a Political Identity now. There is no vacuum for NTR and Allu Arjun there.

If they have to close that gap, they should have immeasurable film popularity like how Vijay had in Tamil Nadu which brings him closer to the neutrals and people cutting across party lines.

The Popularity should be like the Number 2 Position should miles away from the First Position. NTR and Allu Arjun are popular but they do not command the following as Vijay in Tamil Nadu. So there is sometime to get there.

On the top of everything, Vijay decided to leave everything behind during Peak of his career and pursue politics. It is not an easy decision to make.

Both NTR and Allu Arjun are currently in their Prime. This is the phase of consolidation of their popularity and so, it is too early to take a call about their Political Future.
