Amitabh Bachchan Attended ANR National Awards And This Happened!

Amitabh Bachchan Attended ANR National Awards 

The Akkineni Nageswara Rao National Award recipient of this year was South star Chiranjeevi who received it on Monday in Hyderabad. The actor was honoured by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. The Akkineni International Foundation set up the award back in 2005 intending to honour great performers in Indian cinema. This year’s edition was held to mark the 100th birth anniversary of Telugu cinema’s father and actor Nagarjuna’s father.

A clip from the event showed Amitabh Bachchan presenting a trophy and a shawl to Chiranjeevi. After that, out of sheer emotion, Chiranjeevi got on his knees and brought his head down to Big B’s feet to take his blessings. Following the award acceptance speech Chiranjeevi took a picture with Nagarjuna Akkineni and Amitabh Bachchan. Out of all the guests present at the ANR National Award program conducted by Nagarjuna, there were some celebrities from the Telugu film industry. By celebrating ANR’s 100th birth anniversary, young talents like Nani, Brahmanandam, Ram Charan, Prakash Raj, Ramya Krishnan etc all came forward to perform. It was also graced by Naga Chaitanya and his fiancee Sobhita Dhulipala.

Last week only Nagrjuna made an official announcement of conducting the ANR National Awards event X every year. He wrote, Next year on will be my father's birth anniversary or ANR garu as he is fondly referred as in the Indian film Industry. Proud to extend an invitation to the two magnificent legends: @SrBachchan ji & the Megastar @KChiruTweets garu to grace the #ANRAwards2024 for this feat!
