Prabhas and Tollywood Stars Unite to Aid Flood Victims

A devastating low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal has triggered catastrophic flooding across Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana. The Munneru River has breached its banks in Telangana, submerging the city, while Vijayawada in AP has been inundated due to the overflowing Budameru River. Both state governments are actively coordinating evacuation and relief operations to ensure the safety of flood-affected residents. Chief Ministers Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Revanth Reddy are directly overseeing the efforts to provide aid and support.

Controversy Surrounds Aswani Dutt’s Donations

While the majority of the film industry’s donations have been broadly inclusive, Ashwinidat’s contribution has sparked controversy. His donation was exclusively directed towards Andhra Pradesh, which has led to criticism. Observers suggest that his focus on AP, especially given the significant success of the Kalki movie in the Nizam area, may be motivated by political considerations rather than purely altruistic intentions.

A Unified Response from Tollywood

The flood crisis has united Tollywood in an extraordinary display of generosity and solidarity. As relief efforts continue, the focus remains on addressing the immediate needs of affected communities and ensuring their safety. The combined contributions of the film industry’s leading figures highlight a powerful commitment to supporting the people of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during this challenging time.
