NTR Memorial Award to Krishna

NTR Memorial Award for the year 2003 was announced to Superstar Krishna. The Government of Andhra Pradesh had introduced a lifetime achievement award in the name of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao called 'NTR Memorial Award' some time ago. Due to some reasons the announcement of this award was stopped from three years. Now the NTR memorial award was announced for all the three years. NTR Memorial Award was announced to Superstar Krishna for the year 2003, to Music Maestro Illayaraja for the year 2004 and to Kannada artiste and politician, Ambarish for the year 2005. This was declared by the Nandi Awards Committee comprising Gummadi Venkateswara Rao, M Balaiah and M Mohanbabu. These Awards along with the Nandi Awards would be presented at a function to be held in November.
