This piece of news may ring in surprise for many as bigwigs of Telugu film producers have met AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy. Producers D Suresh Baby, Shyam Prasad Reddy, Gemini Kiran along with Nallamalapu Bujji and Vallabhaneni Vamsi had closed door meeting with CM Jagan. The purpose of the producers meeting with CM Jagan is to invite him to attend as the chief guest for their event in Vizag which was done for a good cause.
Going into details, Tollywood had stood-by Vizag when the city was struck by natural calamity cyclone Hudhud back in October 2014. Tollywood had organised ‘Memu Saitam’ and raised funds for the weaker and poor whose houses were totally damaged during Hudhud. With those raised funds, Tollywood personalities have constructed houses for the victims. In order to inaugurate their houses that were built, the said producers have met CM Jagan.
Apparently, CM Jagan received the producers trio well and interacted with them. He appreciated their efforts for this good cause and said to have given his nod to attend this event in principle.
Meanwhile, it can also be noted that several stars of Tollywood have already donated huge monies to CM Relief Fund back then during Chandrababu Naidu’s tenure. Stars had donated to the tune of 2.4 Crore to CM Relief Fund back then. In addition to this, they had taken part in Memu Saitam and displayed their social responsibility towards the people of Andhra Pradesh.
In the wake of political statements by YSRCP’s comedian-politician Prudhvi who had openly stated that Tollywood personalities are not interested in meeting CM Jagan, the meeting of Suresh Babu, Shyam Prasad Reddy and Gemini Kiran with Jagan gained a lot of significance. This is the first meeting of Suresh Babu with CM Jagan. Nallamalapu Bujji and Vallabhaneni Vamsi (who are also producing films) have facilitated the meet.
