The Andhra Pradesh Government presented the prestigious Nandi Awards in a gala function on the evening of 16th November. Hero Nagarjuna received the Best Actor Award for 2006 for stellar his performance in 'Sri RamaDasu'.

After receiving the award from the Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy, Nagarjuna spoke to the patient audience and fans, who were listening to the speech irrespective of the downpour. Referring to the announcement of Rajasekhar Reddy which stated that there will be a hike in the ticket prices for the first two weeks of the show from Rs.35/- to Rs.50/-. Nagarjuna expressed his thanks to the CM for permitting the hike. Responding to the disagreement among the gathering he added Though you might dislike it, the move is necessary for the welfare of the film industry.

Presently, the prices of daily commodities are reaching the sky high burdening the common man. Increasing the show prices for the cinema, which is the only mode of entertainment in metros, Please give it a thought. How sensible is it to hike the ticket prices? Hope the people of filmdom shows empathy over the laymen.
