Telugu Film Industry is blind now

Telugu Film Industry is blind now

When any person talks about Telugu Film Industry, only two actors strike in our mind firstly. They are Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao and Akkineni Nageswara Rao. The Tollywood suffered a huge loss with NTR's demise in the year 1996 and now the Telugu Kalamathalli has become blind with ANR's death.

With over 74 years of experience in the Industry, ANR held his nerve, loved his characters and there was no role he donned in films. Being an atheist, ANR was most popular for his devotee roles in various films. Devadasu and Premnagar are the epic Tollywood movies with love tragedy angle. Premabhishekam movie ran for 533 days in Hyderabad city and still holds the record of a continuous run by any movie in Telugu.

Keeping aside his filmy career, ANR is always a controversy free man and never in his life or filmy career he got involved in an issue. His discipline and dedication are the only two reason for his huge fan following. ANR had profound understanding of the business requirements of film industry and so he ventured into production. ANR established Annapoorna Studios banner and its is one of the oldest production houses of TFI. ANR shares special bond with NTR. He was invited into politics by NTR but he rejected the offer and was confined to films.

Currently ANR was doing a film with his son Nagarjuna and grandson Naga Chaitanya titled Manam. He wrapped his part of shooting and was taking care rest after undergoing a major surgery. On October 19, 2013 ANR held a press meet and conveyed the message about his cancer. He wished to live for 100 years with the blessings of fans but unfortunately it did not happen.

Having such an amazing personality in our Telugu Cinema is something we all should be proud of. He is a priceless necklace for the goddess of Fine Arts.
