Nandamuri Balakrishna’s latest blockbuster Legend has been in the news since a couple of days. The topic in discussion isn’t about the collections of his film or the amount for which its satellite rights were sold, but it is about the film being reviewed by the election commission.

As reported earlier, Balakrishna is contesting this 2014 elections as an MLA candidate from Hindupur constituency and the opposition party YSRCP’s members have lodged a complaint with Election Commission about Legend movie that’s being played successfully in the theatres. As per the allegation, it is being said that Legend was made with the intention of influencing the voters and a ban has to be imposed on the film...

The Election Commission team with Devasena as its head were able to watch the film at a private screening that was arranged a couple of days back. The decision was put on hold and after giving it a serious thought, the board members have asked the producers of Legend to remove 4 scenes from the film. Responding to this, the makers of Legend have removed those 4 influential episodes and are going to announce the same!
