Film Body Urges Cabinet Focus on Industry Development

Film Body Urges Cabinet Focus on Industry Development

A group called the Movie Artists Association–Andhra Pradesh (MA–AP) had a meeting in Guntur.

Their leader, Dileep Raja, asked the Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, to talk about helping the film industry in the next Cabinet meeting.

He said the government hasn't done much for the film industry since they started.

He also mentioned that the Nandi Awards, which are important prizes for films, haven't been given in a while.

He wants the government to make a plan to help the film industry grow, just like they've helped other areas like pensions and teachers.

He thinks this can create jobs and help the state's economy.
