Naresh, president of the Movie Artists ‘Association, said that the remarks made by actor Nagababu about MAA were very hurtful.
Naresh Media came forward on Saturday morning as a counter to the media conference recently arranged by actor Prakash Raj introducing his panel. He named the development programs undertaken by him so far as President.
He said that Prakash Raj is a good friend of his. Three months ago he called Naresh and said he wanted to compete in this year’s election.
“I said that anyone who acts in Telugu movies can compete. Manchu Vishnu is also fighting in this year’s election. Anyone is welcome. ‘MAA’ is not a political system. Chiranjeevi, Krishnam Raju, Krishna and many other film personalities have established it step by step. All previous presidents have worked hard for ‘MAA’ development,” Naresh said.
He also added that the present members of the General Body joined the Prakash Raj Panel before the end of their tenure.
“I have done a lot of development work since I remained president. I told everything to all the cine bigwigs from time to time. But Naga babu’s comments hurt us,” Naresh added.
