United AP Government used to honour the Best Talent in the Telugu Film Industry with Nandi Awards on a yearly basis. Post bifurcation, Telangana Government launched as exercise to find a new name for the awards ceremony sponsored by it.
A committee constituted by the TRS Government suggested 'Simha Awards' as the best alternative for Nandi Awards. The Members even suggested Awards in memory of legendary personalities hailing from Telangana such as Dasarathi Krishnamacharya, Kath Kantha Rao, Prabhakar Reddy, Paidi Jayaraj, Music Composer Chakri and few others.
Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao will officially announce the news sooner or later. State Government might present awards for the year 2015 and 2016 in a grand ceremony to be held early next year.
Whether Simha Awards will honour only Film Celebs of Telangana-origin alone or the finest talent in the Telugu Film Industry? Some clarity required!
