KTR Has An Appeal To The Centre:- TRS Working President KTR today appealed the Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Arun Jaitley along with Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore to reconsider their decision after Telugu film C/O Kancharapalem got disqualified from the National award nominations. C/O Kancharapalem released during September 2018 and received critical acclaim from the audience as well as the critics. The Committee rejected the film citing that the producer Praveena Paruchuri is not an Indian national.

Praveena tweeted to KTR about this and KTR took twitter to appeal the Centre. "I appeal to Union I&B Minister Sri @arunjaitley Ji and MoS @Ra_THORe  Ji to kindly review the below appeal. National awards are a matter of pride for all filmmakers. An award cannot be denied for a #MadeInIndia product because of archaic rules that are redundant in today’s India" posted KTR on his official twitter handle. Praveena Paruchuri, a citizen based in USA from Telugu origin produced C/O Kancharapalem and released it through Suresh Babu. Tollywood audience were upset with C/O Kancharapalem disqualified.
