As we all know, Manchu Vishnu has been elected as the president of the Movie Artists Association (MAA), a non-profit organisation based in Film Nagar, Hyderabad. The primary objective of MAA is to look after the well-being of artists and producers in Telugu cinema, aka Tollywood.
As a part of his job, Vishnu addressed the media and answered a string of questions posed on behalf of MAA. He began by talking about Allu Arjun becoming the first and only Telugu actor to grab the ‘Best Actor Male’ award at the prestigious National Awards, the unparallelled craze of Prabhas and Rajamouli across the country. However, he created a stir among netizens for his comments on ‘Mega Star’ Chiranjeevi.
While speaking highly about the legendary actor who was awarded a well-deserved Padma Vibhushan, Vishnu stated that Chiranjeevi is the first actor from Telugu to achieve this honor. This did not go well with netizens since Akkineni Nageshwara Rao was the first actor to do so and not Chiranjeevi. In fact, ANR is one of the very few people from the Telugu film fraternity to receive the ‘Dada Sahed Phalke Award’, India’s highest award in the field of cinema.
