Why Tollywood is ignored in Padma Awards?
The indian government has recently revealed the coveted Padma Awards. The Andhra cinema sector has once again been overlooked in these awards. padma shri has been bestowed upon veteran performer Sowcar Janaki. The Andhra provinces, on the other hand, did not endorse her name. Her name was proposed by the tamil Nadu government.
Darshanam Mogaliah, a folk musician, has been given the padma shri honour. The telangana government suggested his name. Neither of telugu cinema industry figure received an award in the 'Art' section. It's not the first occasion telugu performers have been overlooked at the Padma Awards. Kaikalaa Satyanarayana, a brilliant actor, is yet to receive a Padma Award. Jamuna, a professional actor, has yet to receive a Padma award.
The government has historically proposed a number of other candidates for the honour, but the centre had rejected them. There are a lot of deserving folks out there like him. Everyone's query is, "What is the cause of this denial?" Some individuals believe that the telugu state and local governments are unconcerned about the telugu movie business and its stars.
Successful movie personalities such as SP Balasubramaniam and SS rajamouli were previously honoured with Padma Awards, but only after the tamil Nadu and karnataka ministries nominated their names. According to rumours, tollywood states rarely nominate movie people for the Padma Awards. That could be one of the main reasons why the national government ignores our industry.
