Out of the four, the results in Andhra Pradesh got some of the celebrities reacting to it. While Chief Minister-designate Jagan Mohan Reddy got congratulatory wishes, Ram Gopal Varma took on former CM Chandrababu Naidu. Ram Charan, meanwhile, came out in support of his uncle Pawan Kalyan.

The YSR Congress enjoyed a landslide victory, winning 151 assembly seats out of 175, while the former CM-Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP won just 23 seats. Even in the Lok Sabha, the former won all the 25 seats. 

Ram Gopal Varma, who’s recent film ‘Lakshmi’s NTR’ had been embroiled in a controversy for allegedly showcasing Naidu in a negative light, took the opportunity to slam him. 

The filmmaker tweeted, “May summer in AP has created many sun strokes but TDP got affected with only one son stroke.” He even shared a video of Naidu's lookalike serving tea at a shop.
