Nostalgia: ANR's Over Intelligence

ANR is too intelligent to imagine. Many say that he is completely business minded and knows how to get the things done as per his wish.

Let us recall an incident. He took a few acres of land in Banjara Hills a few decades ago and constructed Annapurna Studios in that. Everything was fine but there was no approach road for that. ANR also ran away with funds in hand to lay road. His friends told him to wait for sometime to accumulate funds and lay roads. But ANR wanted the road immediately. He got a wonderful idea.

He used the influence of his friends and invited President of India to inaugurate the studio. And the President agreed to come. Then it turned the duty of local Governmental Authorities to lay road to the studio as First Citizen of India should move on that. The road was laid very quickly and ANR fulfilled his wish.

That was the smartness of ANR. Yes, he was smart in looks and in thoughts as well.
