Bapu is Fully Ignored

Bapu is said to be one of the undisputed great directors of tollywood. More than a director, is the great artist as well. However, it seems he is fully ignored by the Indian Government. Our state government has been recommending his name for Padma Awards to the Indian Government for some years. In fact, he would have received this award long back. But the government of India is completely ignoring this great talented person. 

'Sri Ramarajyam' is said to be one of the master pieces of Bapu, that was released last year. Everybody expected that the movie would receive national awards in many departments including direction. However, the 59th National Film Awards Committee has not considered the movie for any award. 'It's really a humiliating situation for us. They simply prefer some 'Dirty Pictures' and ignore good movies like 'Sri Ramarajyam', laments one of the industry biggie.
