The demi god status mana Tollywood heroes enjoy is to be seen to be believed. And Junior NTR's wedding on Thursday night was the biggest case in point .
The actor got married to Lakshmi Pranathi in the presence of over 15,000 guests, 12,000 of which were just his fans. An estimated Rs 18 crore was spent on this high profile wedding held at Hitex grounds.
The wedding, which was telecast live on all regional channels, was set to a background score that was specially composed for the occasion by some of his biggest fans. Vasantha Venkat and Amaraneni Ramakrishna penned a song which went something like 'Kalyanam, kamaneeyam... Nandamuri Vaari Inta Pelli Sandhadi...' The song even went on to refer the bride as 'Bangaru Lakshmi Pranathi...' Music director Arjun composed the tune and playback singers Geeta Madhuri and Krishna Chaitanya lent their voices for it. "I am a lyricist, who is one of NTR's biggest fans. I dedicate this song that I composed to NTR lovers all over the world. I'm making this song available to them online," Venkat informed.
The NTR mania doesn't end there. It was a wedding for the fans all the way. Live, minute-to-minute updates were posted on "www.nandamurifans.com." Everything from videos of NTR's residence, the bride's house and the wedding sets to details about expensive gifts given by fans, the VIP list and the food served were posted promptly by fans on the site.

G S Bhagawan from Mandapeta in the same district, got an opportunity to compere the wedding. State wide NTR fans association gifted a huge portrait of Lord Venkateswara Swamy to their favourite star on the eve of his wedding.
