The veteran actor said he would show his work within six months of his election as the president. He made critical remarks during the meeting, alleging that some members of the association were responsible for damaging its reputation.

The elections have attracted a lot of attention this year from the people of two Telugu-speaking States . Two panels led by actor Prakash Raj and actor Manchu Vishu are competing in the elections.

Bandla Ganesh objects to feast

Meanwhile, producer Bandla Ganesh, who is competing for the post of general secretary after coming out of the panel of Prakash Raj, on Sunday objected to the feast held by him.

In a video released on his Twitter handle, he urged the actor to not bring members of the association together in the name of feasts, citing the prevalence of deadly Covid virus. He said many members of the association, including himself, nearly saw their deaths after being infected by the virus.

He asked Prakash Raj to call up the members and seek their votes after explaining them his manifesto for the development of the association.
