To help Vizag find its feet in the wake of devastation left behind by cyclone Hudhud, the Telugu film industry is planning a marathon fund-raiser titled Memu Saitham. ���The Telugu film industry has lined up a marathon entertainment event on November 30 in Hyderabad. We want to prompt the millions of Telugus in India and the large Telugu Diaspora across the world to participate and contribute to provide succour to cyclone-affected people,��� said NV Prasad, President of Film Chamber, and Burugupalli Siva Ramakrishna, President of Telugu Film Producers Council.
���The event is aimed at providing entertainment and excitement to movie lovers at the same time tapping into their sense of compassion, camaraderie and secure wider participation from all audiences,��� said producers D. Suresh Babu and Dil Raju.
Earlier, many of the film stars donated money to the CM���s Relief Fund for cyclone victims. Film producers Allu Arvind and Murali Mohan of Movie Artists Association said, ���Beyond these individual acts of kindness and philanthropy though, lies a greater responsibility of inspiring collective action from the vast majority of the people who want to help Vizag.���
