Film industry yet to act on Chiru

Vijayawada: The film industry in Vijayawada city is yet to move in favour of Megastar Chiranjeevi for his political party. The distributors, who form the core group for the industry in the coastal district were among the first batch of supporters who pooled up funds for NTR in 1982, when he launched Telugu Desam. The Laxmi Pictures, Navayuga Films and others mobilised funds for NTR from Vijayawada. Gandhinagar, the hub of film industry in coastal districts, was the collection point for Telugu Desam in the early days. Besides the family members and relatives of NTR, the film distributors used to meet often here and mobilise funds for the new party. However, the activity is missing this time, even as Chiru had opened the party office and is gearing up to hold public meeting at Tirupathi. It is to be seen how the industry in the city responds to the political aspirations of the Megastar.
