The inauguration of T.Subbarami Reddy Lalitha Kala Parishat was taken place in Nellore city on 6th May. In connection with this grand gala, character actor and hero, Mohan Babu was felicitated and was given 'Nata Vaachaspathi' title. Many eminent personalities from political and cine fields attended this occasion including Akkineni Nageswara Rao and the finance minster Anam Ram Narayana Reddy.
However, one of the most eminent personalities of tollywood, Dasari Narayana Rao was seen nowhere in the function. Mohan Babu is considered the best disciple of him. The reason for Dasari's absence is very clear, say the sources. They said, " Dasari Narayana Rao has a staunch rivalry on Akkineni Nageswara Rao for decades. Since ANR attended to this felicitation function, obviously Dasari Narayana Rao skipped the function."
