All the four prestigious award winners received the honor from AP Chief Minister Sri K Roshaiah.

Addressing the gathering State Minister Smt Geeta Reddy said, “In the Panchanga Sravanam it is mentioned that our State will be safe without any obstacles. It is a good sign to hear about that. Nandi Awards started in 1964 and since then it continued till date. Along with NTR National Award and Raghupati Venkaiah Award, Dr Rajasekhar Reddy garu introduced two more awards. It is only the Congress party which helped the film industry to establish right from former CM Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy to Roshaiah garu. Cinema is the most powerful media in this society. Therefore I request the film-makers to make films on social cause along with commercial films.”
