Tollywood A-listers attend birthday bash of Formula E 2023 title sponsor in Maldives

Hyderabad: Much to the delight of fans, several Tollywood A-listers were seen attending birthday celebrations of Greenko Group MD Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty in the picturesque Maldives, whose firm was the title sponsor for Formula E 2023.
A video showed Megastar Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, Akhil Akkineni, and Upasana joining the elaborate birthday celebrations on an island. The actors were seen wearing outfits appropriate for beach parties. Mahesh Babu’s wife, Namrata Shirodkar, shared a photo showing all the big actors enjoying and socializing during the party.
Last year, the inaugural edition of Hyderabad E-Prix was successfully held in the city; however, the Congress-led Telangana government cancelled the electric race, which was scheduled to be held on February 10.
Formula E had entered into a four-year agreement with the then BRS government and Greenko, which pulled out of the event after the electric race as it caused massive financial loss to the firm. Even as Formula E emphasized that the cancellation of the race was a breach of contract by the new government, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikaramarka said the tri-partite agreement between the Municipal and Urban Development (MA&UD), Formula E, and local promoter Greenko’s sister concern, Ace Nxt Gen Pvt Ltd, was executed in violation of Secretariat business rules. It is alleged that Anil Kumar’s company received undue financial benefits from the government.
Facing heat over the funding of Formula E, the former minister and BRS working president, KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that although the state government spent around Rs. 40 crore on the electric race, it elevated the image of brand Hyderabad. He further said the race also brought approximately Rs. 700 crore in economic benefits to the state.
