Ashwini Dutt said that he will not join Chiru party and stay in Telugu Desam only. “If TDP orders I will contest once again from Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency”, said Dutt.

Ashwini Dutt is close to Chiru and produced several hit movies under his banner Vyjayanthi Movies. His films Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari and Indra made with Chiru created box office records. Dutt also produced the first film of Chiru’s son Ramcharan.

In the last elections Chiru supported Dutt in Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency but could not win over Congress leader Lagadapati Rajagopal.
