Nandamuri Balakrishna is a deeply disappointed man. The disappointment is now due to some personal issue but at the injustice done to eminent director Bapu. This year’s Padma awards came in for much disappointment to many Telugu people. Bapu, the most talented artists and directors in Telugu was widely tipped to get the long due Padma award this year.
However his name did not figure in the list. Balakrishna expected that Bapu would surely be honoured with a Padma award this year. Balalyya and Bapu’s film Sri Rama Rajyam has turned out to be a masterpiece. Balakrishna said that the state government did not take the initiative to see that Bpu was honoured with a Padma award.
