Nagarjuna gets a backset

Two days before the release of his stylish Kedi, Akkineni Nagarjuna has received a backset. The Airport Authority of India has put a spanner in his idea to build a mega entertainment complex in the premises of Annapurna Studios.

The reason cited by the AAI is that Nag cannot build structures that are 30 metres in height, which is not permitted in Banjara Hills, where the Studios is located. In fact, structures only of half the height are allowed in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills areas.

As Nag wanted to build structures of 30 metres height, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation sought AAI's clearance, which the latter rejected on the grounds that buildings belonging to high-rise category cannot be allowed in the area.

In fact, it is reported that permission to build 15 metres high structures may not be allowed too, as the town planning officials are averse to sanctioning a permission.
