Announcing the ANR award to SS Rajamouli, Akkineni Nagarjuna has said that the scenes filmed by the director for his movie 'Rajanna' are among the best shots in his career.

"I have always wanted to work with him, but it didn't work out. Rajamouli and his family are passionate about movies. They work fantastically. 'Baahubali' is the kind of film we all Telugus are proud of. It's not just enough to dream big. You have to make them come true and it's very difficult. Rajamouli dreamed big and has reached heights," Nag says.

"We wanted to hold the award ceremony on Nanna garu's birthday (Sept 20), but since Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu garu's dates couldn't be got, we are having to hold it on Sept 17.

Saying that the ANR Award and the Annapurna International School of Film Media were a dream of his father, Nag said that the film institute has become quite famous because of 'mouth publicity'.
