With ANR’s second death anniversary (Jan 22, 2016) just around the corner, one thing is worrying his fans, film lovers. It’s nothing but about ANR’s statue in his favourite Annapurna Studios. The delay in installing ANR’s statue in Annapurna Studios has become talking point as several visitors and industry people are discussing on it.
While the exact reasons for the delay is not known, fans are disappointed as the statue is not ready even after two years after the demise of the veteran actor. Annapurna Studios is ANR’s favourite place. He had spent several hours in the studio particularly after passing away of his better-half Annapurna, ANR had spent time at Annapurna’s statue.
Soon after his demise, it’s buzzed that ANR statue would be placed beside Annapurna statue but nothing concrete has done so far. With this die-hard fans of ANR are said to be disappointed and wondering what caused the delay.

It’s time for Akkineni family (Nagarjuna, Venkat, Susheela and their children) to look into it as early as possible.
