N Convention Demolition to Nagarjuna As Guest: Happy Ending!

Actor Nagarjuna’s N Convention Centre was demolished by HYDRAA in August 2014 over alleged encroachment of Thammidikunta lake’s FTL level. Quite disappointed with this, Nagarjuna had moved the Telangana High Court citing that the demolition was carried without prior notice. Cut to the chase, two years later, Nagarjuna was invited as the chief guest for the inauguration of Thammidikunta lake restoration. CM Revanth Reddy and Hydraa Commissioner Ranganath and other government officials took part in this.

Nagarjuna praised CM Revanth Reddy and Hydraa Ranganath for their efforts to restore Thammidikunta Lake in Madhapur. Nagarjuna also expressed his willingness to support the beautification and rejuvenation of lakes across Hyderabad.

Interestingly, Nagarjuna said that he initially had certain reservations during his first meeting with Hydraa Ranganath. However, Nag said he was impressed and convinced by Ranganath and made him realise the importance of the lakes restoration initiative.

“I went there with something on my mind, but the way Ranganath garu convinced me made me realise that this is what we should be doing for our city. Whenever I travel outside the country, I always feel why can’t our lakes be as beautiful as the other lakes in the foreign countries. Today looking at the Thammidikunta lake beautification I’m so overwhelmed. This is what one has to do for our land and our country. After all, we don’t carry our Debit Cards with us after we die.”

Nagarjuna said he would be happy to shoot at the lake in the future. He reportedly expressed the hope that all 2,000 lakes in Hyderabad would be rejuvenated along similar lines. Nagarjuna also hoped that CM Revanth would invite him for the inauguration of the Musi River rejuvenation project.

Meanwhile, Revanth Reddy praised Nagarjuna for his contribution towards the restoration of Thammidikunta Lake. The actor had voluntarily come forward and handed over two acres of his land to the government for the lake’s development.

Revanth said the government had undertaken the project keeping the future generations in mind, even though some people might face difficulties in the process.

Revanth Reddy said Thammidikunta Lake, which had shrunk to just 14 acres, had now been expanded to 30 acres as part of the restoration efforts.

Revanth particularly appreciated Nagarjuna for voluntarily contributing two acres of land for the project, adding that the actor had proved himself a hero not just on the silver screen but also in real life.

On the whole, what started with the demolition of N Convention Centre, it looks like a happy ending with Nagarjuna himself offering his 2 acres land and also attending as the chief guest at the inauguration of Thammidikunta lake rejuvenation project.

"నేను మైండ్ లో ఏదో పెట్టుకొని వెళ్ళినా కూడా.. రంగనాథ్ గారు కన్విన్స్ చేసిన విధానానికి..

సిటీకి ఇది కదా మనం చెయ్యాల్సింది, పోయేటప్పుడు DEBIT CARD ఏమి తీసుకొని వెళ్లం కదా అని అనిపించింది."

"నాగర్జున గారు సినిమాలోనే కాదు నిజజీవితంలోనూ హీరో లాంటి నిర్ణయం తీసుకున్నారు.

ఆయనకు కష్టమే అయినా.. రెండు ఎకరాల స్థలాన్ని తమ్మిడికుంట అభివృద్ధి కోసం ప్రభుత్వానికి ఉదారంగా అందించారు."
