Annapurna Studios, one of the leading production house down south, has started an amazing initiative. Established by late actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao in the name of his wife Annapurna, the studio is known for quality work and hospitality of the management. Supriya Yarlagadda and Akkineni Nagarjuna manage the studios.
Recently, usage of plastic was banned in the vicinity of the studio by its management. They have distributed steel bottles to their employees and others who work on various projects in their studios. To appreciate the initiative they have taken, anchor Jhansi, who is working for one of the projects there, took to her social media handle to share this.
She wrote, "A small change but a big step.. @annapurnastudios congratulations for taking this daring initiative.NO INDIVIDUAL PACKAGED WATER BOTTLES ON THE SET to anyone (actors included).Steel bottles are given to the members which you can refill from the water station.
