The Indian film industry is gearing up for a momentous occasion: the ANR Awards 2024. This year’s ceremony holds special significance as it marks the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), a towering figure in Telugu cinema. To commemorate his legacy, a grand celebration was held last month, culminating in the unveiling of a special postal stamp by the Government of India.
One of the highlights of the ANR Awards 2024 is the conferment of the prestigious ANR Award upon the Padma Vibhushan Awardee Shri. Chiranjeevi Garu. This esteemed award recognizes Chiranjeevi’s immense contributions to Indian cinema, making him the second Telugu personality to receive this honor after ANR himself.
The ceremony promises to be a star-studded affair, with a galaxy of celebrities from the film industry in attendance. Nagarjuna, ANR’s son and a renowned actor, has personally invited Amitabh Bachchan to present the award to Chiranjeevi. This collaboration between two cinematic icons is sure to add to the grandeur of the event.
In a heartfelt message on social media, Nagarjuna expressed his excitement for the upcoming ceremony, emphasizing the significance of celebrating his father’s centenary. His invitation to Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi highlights the enduring bonds of friendship within the industry.
Past recipients of the ANR award include legendary figures such as Devanand, Shabana Azmi, and Dr. Lata Mangeshkar. This year’s ceremony promises to be a fitting tribute to ANR’s legacy, celebrating his profound impact on Indian cinema and the enduring power of storytelling.
