Bandla Ganesh Withdraws From Producers Council Contest, C Kalyan to Be Elected Unanimously?
The elections will be held on September 6, with around 800 members expected to exercise their franchise.
If sources are to be believed, producer Bandla Ganesh has reportedly withdrawn from the race to become president of Telugu Film Producers Council. "He has withdrawn from the contest for his own reasons,"says a source and adds, "Hence, C Kalyan would be elected unanimous and his vast experience would help in resolving industry woes, "he adds.
The election battle for the Telugu Film Producers’ Council is set to intensify, with the Mana Panel and Guild Panel set for a clash.
The elections will be held on September 6, with around 800 members expected to exercise their franchise.
The source claims that the panel led by veteran producer C. Kalyan currently has an edge. “C. Kalyan, Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao, Tummalapalli Prasanna Kumar and Mohan Vadlapatla have an advantage as they are fighting for the rights of small producers, who account for nearly 70% of the council’s membership,” says the source.
After months of demands from producers to conduct elections, the Producers’ Council has finally announced its schedule. Polling will take place on September 6 from 8 am to 2 pm, with results expected to be announced at 3 pm the same day.
Council elections have traditionally seen a contest between established active producers and representatives of smaller producers, and this year appears to be no different.
The C. Kalyan panel has also taken shape, with Tummalapalli Prasanna Kumar and YVS Chowdary contesting for secretary, while Ammiraju and Rama Satyanarayana are in the fray for joint secretary. Producer Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao is contesting for treasurer.
