Yesteryear heroine Sridevi has been selected for the prestigious ANR Award for the year 2013. The award will be officially announced today in an official press meet by Akkineni Nagarjuna representing the Akkineni International Foundation.

The ANR National Award is a prestigious award instituted by the Akkineni International Foundation in the honor of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao. This award is annually conferred to film personalities for their exceptional contributions to cinema. Every year, ANR, himself would announce the award but this time, due to his ill heath, it is his son, Nagarjuna is carrying the onus of organizing the press meet.
