Hyderabad Police’s brilliant use of Akhanda’s scene

The social media pages of various police departments across the country have now started using film clippings to spread awareness. Not so long ago, Mumbai police used a digitally modified poster of Pushpa, which shows Allu Arjun with a face mask, to spread awareness on Covid appropriate behaviour.

Now, Hyderabad Police have used a scene from Balakrishna’s Akhanda to spread awareness on using seatbelts while seated in a car.

The Twitter handle of Hyderabad Traffic Police shared a clipping from A1khanda, in which Balakrishna is seen advising Pragya about the importance of wearing a seatbelt. This post is going viral now and rightly so. This sure is one innovative way to propagate social awareness.

“#HYDTPweBringAwareness, No Matter How Far, No Matter Whose Car, Always Buckle Up! #WearASeatBelt #seatbelt Thank you #NandamuriBalaKrishna Garu & #BoyapatiSrinu Garu for promoting Road Safety. #Akhanda.” The social media post read.
