Tollywood stalwarts Ashwini Dutt and Adi Seshagiri Rao came up with a powerful statement on Nandi awards and thus took on the Ap government headed by CM Jagan Mohan Reddy.
It is known that, nowadays not only common people but celebrities from various professions are getting scared to talk against the AP government for fear of getting foul-mouthed in an obscene manner by his ministers.
In the midst of all this, Ashwini Dutt and Adi Seshagiri Rao who are known for their powerful family and action entertainers and thrillers, came out boldly and aired their views in their interaction with the scribes. Super Star Krishna's brother Adi Seshagiri Rao said ' Sometime back Nandi awards used to have a lot of significance. Those days are gone now. The governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh already sidelined Nandi awards. They are not keen on giving the awards"
Ashwini Dutt expressed his views even boldly saying 'There is no value for the awards presented by the Government. In AP the government is coming up with awards for Best Rowdy and Best Goonda. In another three years, these awards will be presented grandly"
