The North American Telugu Association (NATS) is gearing up for the "8th Telugu Fest" event.
This celebration will be held in Tampa, USA, from July 4th to 6th. Recently, NATS held a grand curtain-raiser event for the 8th Telugu Fest in Hyderabad. The event featured NATS Chairman Prashanth Pinnamaneni, Conference Convenor and former Chairman Srinivas Guttikonda, and other distinguished guests from the USA, who addressed the media. Notable figures such as actresses Jayasudha and Ammani, directors Harish Shankar, Meher Ramesh, music director Thaman, lyricists Ramajogayya Shastri, Chandrabose, Kalyan Chakravarthy, and others graced the occasion.
Prashanth Pinnamaneni, NATS Chairman, stated:
"NATS stands for service and language. We established this organization in 2009 to support the Telugu community in the USA. While we have friends and family in India to rely on during difficult times, the Telugu community in the USA often does not have that support. NATS has been a pillar of strength for them. Our mission is to preserve the Telugu language for future generations and offer help during crises. We are proud to celebrate the 8th Telugu Fest with an estimated 10,000 attendees. Our plans for the next 15 years involve expanding our services and continuing to grow."
Srinivas Guttikonda, Conference Convenor, added:
"Our efforts aim to preserve the beauty of the Telugu language and culture. NATS has been recognized for its service initiatives, and we look forward to many more in the future. The 8th Telugu Fest will be a grand celebration. We encourage everyone to participate and make it a grand event, just like how we celebrate festivals like Dussehra and Diwali."
Actress Jayasudha shared:
"NATS is not only about celebrations but is also a service-oriented organization. They invited me to the past Telugu Fests, but I couldn't attend due to my mother's passing. This time, I am definitely going. Recently, I acted in an English film, and the shoot was near the location of the Telugu Fest. I wish for the event's success."
Music Director Thaman said:
"I participated in the previous Telugu Fest event and will be performing again this time. Along with me, Devi Sri Prasad will also perform. We will be organizing a cricket tournament on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Our NATS 11 team is ready for the match. I am associated with NATS because of Prashanth and Srinivas, who have shown me great respect. This event should be a huge success."
Director Harish Shankar commented:
"Prashanth and Srinivas are good friends. As soon as they called me, I agreed to be a part of NATS' event. Their work in promoting Telugu culture and language is remarkable, and they are supporting Telugu people everywhere. NATS should continue its journey of support for the Telugu community."
Director Meher Ramesh stated:
"NATS is a great organization, and its logo itself represents language and service. They have done tremendous work, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. I am happy to be part of their event."
Lyricist Chandrabose expressed:
"NATS is doing wonderful work to preserve the Telugu language and ensure it reaches future generations. I am glad to be part of the 8th Telugu Fest, performing alongside Ramajogayya Shastri."
Lyricist Ramajogayya Shastri shared:
"NATS has been doing excellent work for the Telugu language and people. I am proud to be part of their event."
Actress Ammani said:
"I was very happy when I was invited to participate in NATS' Telugu Fest. I assured them I would attend. I believe that organizations like NATS, with a purpose, should continue expanding their services."
