A political opponent of Pawan Kalyan, the Janasena chief and actor, criticized him for commenting on YSR rule and Jagan Mohan Reddy's fitness to lead Seemandhra. The opponent said Pawan Kalyan only has "Tikka" but no "Lekka", referencing a popular dialogue from Pawan's blockbuster film Gabbar Singh and implying he talks a lot but lacks substance.
