The Telugu Film Producers Council (TFPC) election results have been made public after a contentious campaign. On February 19 in Hyderabad, the election was ultimately held at the Film Producers Council office in Film Nagar after numerous delays and internal conflicts. Mythri Movie Producers Naveen, Dil Raju, Posani Krishna Murali, C Kalyan, and Sravathi Ravi Kishore were among the 16,000 producers present who participated in the voting process. Dil Raju defeated C Kalyan by 24 votes to win the battle between the two candidates.
According to reports, the council is divided into two groups. One is the Progressive Producers Guild, which is run by KL Damodara Prasad and has Dil Raju’s support. The Producers Council, led by Gemini Kiran and backed by Producer C. Kalyan, is the other group. Among the 1600 members of the TFPC, only 678 have voted.
KL Damodara Prasad, a film producer, received 339 votes, while Gemini Kiran, a member of the opposing team, received 315. The results made it very evident that KL Damodara Prasad had won the presidency with a majority of 24 votes. With a majority vote, Ram Satyanarayana, a movie producer, was selected to be the treasurer, while Ashok Kumar K and Supriya Yarlagadda were picked as vice presidents.
People who have been selected as Executive Members include, Dil Raju – 470 votes, Daanayya – 421 votes, Yalamanchili Ravi – 416 votes, Padmini – 413 votes, Bekkam Venugopal – 406 votes, Surender Reddy – 396 votes, Gopinath Achanta – 353 votes, Madhusudan Reddy – 347 votes, Keshava Rao – 323 votes, Srinivas Vajja – 306 votes, Abhishek Aggarwal – 297 votes, Krishna Thota – 293 votes, Ramakrishna Goud – 286 votes, and Kishore Poosala – 285 votes.
The aforementioned posts will be held by the newly elected party members for a period of two years, from 2023 to 2025. Following the announcement of the results, C Kalyan spoke with the media and claimed that the producers’ council election was peacefully resolved, according to ETimes. So, they will all be working together.
The winning team founded a subsidiary organisation called the Producers Guild, and the producer encouraged them to join the Producers Council as well. He warned that if that didn’t happen, the system would be tainted.
