Manchu Vishnu got elected as Movie Artists Association President after highly publicized and controversial elections. Telugu movie actors have established MAA 28 years ago to address their issues and problems after completely moving to Hyderabad from Chennai.
Vishnu launched his campaign against Prakash Raj panel after later claimed to take up the presidential position to solve the impending problems against existing body or president, actor VK Naresh.Naresh supported Vishnu and Srikanth, Uttej kind of senior members, who already worked in previous working committees decided to support Prakash Raj against Naresh.
Vishnu won the election even though Prakash Raj panel claimed that Vishnu panel tried to influence voters. Following public allegations and some funny statements from both sides, Prakash Raj accepted defeat after the results have been annouced, graciously and submitted his resignation to the membership from association as well.
More than 11 out of 18 panel members from Prakash Raj team got elected including Srikanth but all of them resigned following Prakash Raj. After months of debate and discussion, Vishnu accepted their resignations and asked them to continue as important members.
He did not accept resignations of Prakash Raj, Nagababu for primary membership from MAA. He said that the discussion for construction of an office building is going on at full speed and details will be annouced by him, his team in near future.
