Gunasekhar questions AP CM about Nandi awards
Gunasekhar is angry! His film ‘Rudhramadevi’ was treated badly where Nandi awards are concerned. He has written a letter to Andhra Pradesh CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu with his concerns.
The director has asked as to why his film was snubbed. Earlier when he asked for tax exemption, nothing of that sort happened. But Naidu’s brother in law, Balayya’s film ‘Gauthamiputra Satakarni’ was exempted.
In his earlier letter the director has questioned the CM’s decision of not granting exemption to his film. Why was Rudhramadevi not considered for awards in the category of best films is another question that he has raised now? Gunasekhar also said that Naidu’s decision gives a feel that we are not living independent India but some autocratic country.
He believes that the movie was snubbed totally because he raised questions about tax exemption in 2015. He sees witch-hunting by Naidu’s government.
