The election of Tollywood’s apex body Movie Artistes Association (MAA) will be held on October 10. South veteran actor Prakash Raj is in a direct fight with actor Mohan Babu’s son Vishnu Manchu for the post of MAA president.
On Tuesday, October 5, Prakash Raj along with his panel members met the election officer at the MAA office and alleged that Vishnu’s family was trying to win elections by taking advantage of the postal ballot system and using unfair means.
In his complaint, Prakash urged the Disciplinary Committee of the MAA and the Election Commission to take immediate action against the Machu family. He further claimed that it was damaging the “ethical fabric” of the industry.
Responding to Prakash Raj’s comments, Vishnu Manchu clarified the issue of postal ballot and explained, “There are at least 190 members in the MAA over the age of 60. As a contestant, I have contacted everyone and asked them to do so. Asked if they would prefer postal ballot. Voting or if they would walk to cast their vote on election day. And due to the pandemic, around 60 members have decided to cast their vote through postal ballot.”
Vishnu further warned Prakash Raj and said that he felt bad when his family was dragged into the matter.
He said, “I challenge you (Prakash Raj) not to include any member of my family… be my siblings, parents and wife and children… in the election debate. Please maintain some limits.”
Prakash hails from Karnataka and many did not want the actor to contest for the post despite having friends and friends who have worked in the Telugu film industry for so many years.
Veteran actor Nagarjuna and others are supporting Prakash Raj.
