Jani Master clarifies there is no personal rift with Sekhar Master

Chiranjeevi reportedly played a key role in resolving the controversy

The association’s focus is now on dancers’ welfare, not internal politics

Objections from the Employees Federation addressed by Jani Master

Choreographer Jani Master, who has been a prominent force in Telugu cinema’s dance scene, found himself at the centre of a recent controversy involving the Telugu Film and TV Dancers Association. The buzz suggests that viral videos showing a heated exchange between Jani Master and fellow choreographer Sekhar Master set social media abuzz, sparking speculation about a personal fallout between the two.

However, as per sources, Jani Master has now publicly addressed the issue, clarifying that the disagreement was strictly about administrative matters within the association and not a personal feud. He emphasised that both he and Sekhar Master have worked together for years, maintaining mutual respect throughout. The issue, reportedly, stemmed from objections to certain administrative decisions and proposed by-elections under the leadership of association president Sumalatha, who also happens to be Jani Master’s wife.

Industry grapevine has it that Megastar Chiranjeevi played a pivotal role in resolving the matter, encouraging both choreographers to put aside differences and present a united front. The trio’s recent appearance together sent a strong message that all misunderstandings had been cleared. Jani Master stated that the welfare of dancers remains the top priority, not internal politics.

Meanwhile, the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation has also raised objections regarding developments in the dancers’ association. Jani Master clarified that his concerns were only about alleged irregularities within the association, not directed at the federation. With the air now cleared, fans and industry insiders alike are keen to see how the association moves forward, united and focused on supporting its members.
