Tollywood bigwigs met Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu today and conveyed their full support CM and his fight for Special category status.
Director K. Raghavendra Rao, Ashwinidutt, KL Narayana, KS Rama Rao and Gemini Kiran were among those who met AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu. They expressed the solidarity of film industry to CM and conveyed they will wear black badges till April 6th to express their displeasure over Center for not granting Special category status to AP and not even fulflling the assurances made to AP during bifurcation. They also assured CM that they will also be part of the fight for Special category status for AP.
But it is to be noted, they met CM personally but not as a body of film industry – like Movie artist association or Film Chamber or producers council or director’s association or even as one unit like Telugu Film industry. Some people in film industry (like Posani, Tammareddy etc) earlier spoke against supporting Chandra Babu and his fight on SCS. We have to wait and see if other film personalities support the cause of SCS at least, if not TDP government, in future or not!!
