Thespian Akkineni Nageswara Rao's 9 ft bronze statue was unveiled by King Nagarjuna at the ANR college in Gudiwada, yesterday. Nagarjuna has also presented the Akkineni International Award and Gold Medals to the renowned personalities such as K Raghavendra Rao, Gopalakrishna, Gopichand and others. This event was organized by the Akkineni Foundation of America.
Well, ANR's fans wish their legendary hero's statues should be unveiled in every city of AP. According to them, the statues of some of the contemporary heroes of ANR are being unveiled everywhere across the AP due to political reasons. They further argue that why shouldn't their legendary hero be given equal honour to that of those heroes who get their statues placed in various cities and towns due to political fame.
