He grew from there and became a media owner and instituted awards and given them regularly like Filmfare. I am very fond of film industry. Though I left the industry and went into politics, you blessed by son Ram Charan Teja. You have been encouraging Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun as well. I am indebted to Telugu film lovers.”
Bala Krishna said, “My father did Panduranga Mahatyam. I acted in the remake of it. It is a risky proposition to do such movies in the current scenario. It will be a memorable incident for me to get Santosham award for my performance in that movie."
