As a part of NTR’s birth centenary. Earlier this week, the President of India, Draupadi Murmu launched the commemorative Rs100 coins featuring NTR. The grand event was held in Delhi and was attended by almost the entire family of the late actor. Chandrababu Naidu, Balakrishna, and Daggubati Purandeshwari were some of the key invitees to the event.
One side of the coin features three lions and the Ashoka Chakra, while the other side has NTR’s picture with the wording ‘Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Satajayanti’ engraved, in Hindi, below it. The coin is marked with the years 1923-2023 to signify NTR’s centenary celebrations.
While the mad rush for these coins has already started at Saifabad Mint and through various online channels, producer Bandla Ganesh’s comments have sparked some controversy.
The producer took to social media and posted his thoughts on the entire development and claimed that this was a political stunt made with upcoming elections in mind. In a long post, Ganesh said that Anyone can order a set of commemorative coins and get them produced in three mints present in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Kolkata. The only criterion is that these coins have to be ordered in bulk and Daggubati Purandeswari placed an order of 14,00 such coins.
He further claimed that Only party supporters and workers are the ones buying these coins by spending huge amounts. There is no need to get excited about such a development. If anyone is interested they can spend Rs 3,000 and purchase a Rs 100 coin that’s not even valid currency.
