A galaxy of Telugu film stars enthusiastically participated in the Swachch Hyderabad program in Film Nagar in the Jubilee Hills area on Sunday.
Commercial Taxes Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Movie Artistes' Association (MAA) president Rajendra Prasad, popular cine directors Raghavendra Rao, Trivikaram Srinivas, Boyapati Sreenu, Shankar and D Suresh Naidu, and cine actors Venkatesh, Rana, Rajasekhar, Tanikella Bharani, Venu Madhav, Rakulpreet Singh and others took part in the program.
The industry folks picked up spades and baskets, and plunged into the "action" of lifting the garbage on the roads and shifting it.
Speaking on the occasion, Yadav said that cinema has the power to influence society, and it was the responsibility of film personalities to take up the cause and spread awareness about it.
The minister requested the actors to encourage their fans and the common people to lend a helping hand to the great program.
He also assured the film industry that the TRS government would take up the responsibility of making the Telugu film industry second to none in the country. (NSS)
