More than the upcoming assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, the ‘MAA’ elections are grabbing the attention. It is known that the elections for ‘MAA’ president are going to take place on March 10th.

On this note, the contestants are trying to show the others in the bad light and also making some offers to gain more votes. Senior actor Naresh is also doing the same. Shivaji Raja is the current President of the of MAA and Naresh is now contesting in the elections against Shivaji Raja. In his promotions, he declared that he will give Rs. 5000 as pension also will give Medical and life insurance for all the old artists. He also assured that he will try his best to bring offers to all the artists.

Even earlier during the elections, so many have already made such promises but failed to stand on the promises after getting the power. We have to wait and see what happens now.

Super Star Mahesh Babu was supposed to participate in an event that is said to be organized by MAA association in the USA. Due to the differences among the members of the association, the event got canceled.

Now, the association is planning to hold the event at any cost this year. The association wanted to get Prabhas in stead of Mahesh Babu on board for the promotions of the event. Already, Mahesh is said to have made it clear that he would be showing no interest again as the association already wasted his time previously.

Hence, the association wanted to get going with Prabhas and the senior heroes Venkatesh, Nagarjuna. After the election of association, the new president is going to take a final call on the event to be held at the USA. The association will raise funds with the event and utilize the same for the construction of a building for MAA office.

Shivaji Raja is the popular artist in the Telugu film industry who is currently serving as the president of Movie Artists Association. He has been doing great works for the welfare of some artists in the film industry. Shivaji has been serving his position for the last two terms and most of the members are expecting him to continue in the position but Shivaji Raja has different plans.

“Having an own building and an old-age home from MAA is my dream. The old-age home dream is going to come to reality soon. I am happy with what I have done so far. I promise that I am not going to contest for President this time and I am happy with my career so far. My son is entering as a hero and his first film is currently in progress. His second movie will begin soon.” said Shivaji Raja during his birthday celebrations.

Movie Artists Association is planning to have an own building for their organization. Many times in the past, they have called for funds but they failed to collect the necessary funds. The association already planned big by organizing Silver Jubilee celebrations of MAA in the USA. Mega Star Chiranjeevi earlier attended an event in the USA and it is the time for Mahesh Babu to grace an event in the USA.

Already, one crore rupees is raised in the event last time and with the presence of Mahesh Babu for an upcoming event in the USA, it is certainly going big. Mahesh who is expected to fly USA for the shoot of his next will take out some time from his work to attend this event which will eventually help MAA to collect funds.

The same was conveyed sometime back at a press meet in Hyderabad.
