There's an underground cold war that's going between all top producers and Dasari Narayana Rao. In what could possibly snowball into a bitter aftermath. Telugu cinema producers like Dil Raju, Suresh Babu, etc are not enjoying best of the relationships with Dasari Narayana Rao. The just concluded Federation strike is a classic example for their tiff between Dasari Narayana Rao and other producers.

During the AP cine workers federation strike, apparently all the producers have unanimously agreed to give the federation employees the required wage boost. However, the federation employees did not accept that and instead went to Dasari Narayana Rao for his advise and approval. Later, after Dasari Narayana Rao's nod, the federation workers agreed to the Producers Council wage fixation. And this entire has miffed top producers like Dil Raju and Suresh Babu. The Producers Council opines that this is unfair on the part of AP cine workers federation to approach Dasari Narayana Rao and also wrong on the latter's part to give his nod individually rather collectively.
