It has been a long time since Nandi Awards got distributed for some of the best works in the Telugu cinema. Nandi Awards is an annual award ceremony that confers the made actors and technicians for a particular year. After the state got bifurcated, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao planned to rename Nandi Awards and start it again with new branding. But for some reason, that didn't work out.
We hear that now, he has decided to go with the old name and format. KCR is also planning to relaunch Nandi Awards this year. To discuss this, Minister of Cinematography, Talasani Srinivas Yadav, held a meeting with Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna the other day. The trio had discussed the plans of relaunching Nandi Awards, giving government schemes to the film workers and also the development of the film industry. A few other film chamber members were also present at this meeting, which happened at Chiru's home.
KCR is planning to turn Hyderabad as the Film Hub of India. Soon he will also have a meeting with the eminent personalities of Tollywood, regarding the development of the industry. On the flip side, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is also planning to relaunch a separate Nandi Awards event in the state.
