India's Film Heritage Foundation is set to commemorate the centenary of Telugu cinema legend Akkineni Nageswara Rao with a countrywide film festival.

These screenings will take place in major metros like Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Bengaluru, as well as smaller cities including Vadodara, Jalandhar and Tumkur. Nagarjuna added: “He was rightly called ‘Natasamrat’ for his amazing ability to play a range of roles from a saint to an alcoholic to a romantic hero in a way that has stayed in people’s hearts and minds for decades. By bringing these masterpieces back to the big screen, we hope to evoke a deep sense of pride and nostalgia, allowing audiences to reconnect with the golden era of our film history,” Kumar said.
