DNR Delays ANR Padma Vibhushan Felicitation

on May 4, 2011

Akkineni Nageswara Rao is the proud recipient of the Padma Vibhushan Award but he was not felicitated by Telugu cinema industry till now. This has become a hot topic since last month or so and now a strong source says that Dasari Narayana Rao is the main reason to stop ANR Felicitation.

The Telugu film industry could not honor ANR with a felicitation function after he was conferred with the prestigious Padma Vibhushan Award. And fresh reports say that it was Dasari Narayana Rao who is the prime reason for this delay. Dasari Narayana Rao made Premabhishekam movie starring ANR and also produced by ANR himself, feels that there's no ANR and Premabhishekam without him.

After delivering Premabhishekam movie, Dasari used Annapoorna Studios for a film shooting but did no pay the dues for that. Later, ANR personally reached Dasari and asked him to pay the dues and this has made Dasari very angry and since then both of them are never spotted together on the same stage. So can DNR stop ANR felicitation function altogether?
