Is our Tollywood forgetting to pay proper respects to the demised souls of illustrious people who had served the industry? MS Narayana passed away recently and his death came as a shocker to many in TFI as it was unexpected. It is a custom in the industry to organise condolence meets of the passed away celebrities and pay due respects for their achievements.
And coming to MS Narayana, his achievements aren’t something to be neglected because he has a rare record of acting in more than 700 movies in a span of only 20 years. He had been one of Tollywood’s top comedians. Nevertheless, Tollywood finds no time or place for a condolence meet. Various TFI bodies like Movie Arts Association, Telugu Film Producers Council or AP Film Chamber of Commerce didn’t even think of paying respects to MS.
Our celebs had time to attend the CCL charity dinner but not for MS Narayana. CCL Charity dinner had been a grand affair with industry glamour in full attendance walking on the red carpet and posing to shutter bugs. That’s fine. But why avoid a proper condolence meet for one of the finest actor? It is learnt that MAA (Movie Arts Association) has said that it isn’t organising condolence meets these days. Did it start the new tradition with MS Narayana?
