According to the cine historians, the credibility of Nandi awards started eroding from early 1980s. From then on Nandi awards have gradually turned as biased awards with each passing year.
And the credibility reaches to rock bottom with the AP government's latest biased awards. Now that Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna too acted as one of the chairmen of the Nandi award committees, he had to face dire criticism from movie lovers
Everyone felt that King Nagarjuna's Manam should have won the Nandi best feature film award. Instead, Balayya's Simha won the award.
It seems Nagarjuna took revenge on Balakrishna for denying award for Manam. As we know, Akhil's second venture Hello trailer was unveiled by the team today. Some interesting words were read as, "From the makers of Manam to which you awarded your hearts".Akkineni fans and other movie lovers feel this gesture of Manam team as 'Tit for Tat' to Balakrishna.
