Sai Dharam Tej starts #ThankYouCollector initiative

With a month left for the release of his upcoming film Republic, which is slated to hit the screens on October 1 for Gandhi Jayanthi weekend, Sai Dharam Tej has launched #ThankYouCollector Stories initiative.

The actor, who plays a District Collector called Panja Abhiram in the movie, says in a video that the initiative starting September 8 is aimed at bringing out the stories of valour and sacrifice of IAS officers.

In his own words: “We respect our soldiers who safeguard us from enemies in the borders. We have seen and heard about their valour and sacrifice.

At the same time, District Collectors struggle on a daily basis to protect the nation from the hands of inland enemies. Some win and some even lose their lives in the struggle. How many of us know about them?

So, to pay tributes to them, we are launching an initiative called Thank You Collector to throw light on their stories.”

Bankrolled by J Bhagawan and J Pullarao on JB Entertainments banner in association with Zee Studios, the film is tipped as an intriguing social drama, that primarily focuses on the three pillars of democracy legislative, executive and judiciary.

Jagapathi Babu and Ramya Krishna are playing pivotal roles in this flick. Mani Sharma is taking care of music department.
