Lobbying mandatory for Awards : Nagarjuna

Are Awards the ultimate tool to measure the standards of a movie? Why do Tollywood movies always stay last in the list of award winning films? Here is Nagarjuna speaks bold about inner intentions on why Telugu films miss out in Award chase.

Nagarjuna agrees that Tollywood movies are made with commercial formula where audiences have a habit of enjoying the movie keeping the brains at home and then come to theatres. "TFI never cared about National Awards because we never make films for brains. National Awards are won only by such films which tease the brains and Malayalam movies win these because their literacy rate is nearly 100%," says Nag.

"I have an experience with 'Gitanjali' on what kind of lobbying should be done to make the Awards committee watch our film but I am not that kind of man to sit in New Delhi and do lobbying for my film," Nagarjuna speaks the facts. Yet Nagarjuna is a regular Telugu hero, who feels that acceptance of people is the biggest reward.
