Last night, Nagarjuna, Amala, Naga Chaitanya, Sobhita Dhulipala, and several Akkineni family members met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Parliament House in New Delhi. The Akkinenis presented the book ‘Akkineni Ka Virat Vyaktitva’ authored by veteran politician and writer Dr. Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad.
Taking to X after his meeting with the PM, Nagarjuna thanked the PM and wrote, “it was an honor to present ‘Akkineni Ka Virat Vyaktitva’ by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, a tribute to my father ANR garu’s cinematic heritage. Your recognition of his life’s work is a treasured affirmation for our family, fans and the Indian movie lovers. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity.”
In another X post, Nag went on to write, “PM Modi Ji’s commendations for ANR gaaru’s philanthropic legacy and his high regard for both @AnnapurnaStdios and Annapurna College of Film and Media as a pivotal institution for aspiring filmmakers. This esteemed acknowledgment fills us with pride and gratitude.”
In his response, PM Modi said, *It was indeed a delight to meet you Nagarjuna Garu along with your family. ANR Garu is the pride of India and his iconic performances will continue to enthral generations to come.”
