Gollapudi Srinivas Award

Gollapudi Srinivas Award is a national-level private award given to a first-time director in Indian Cinema every year.[1][2] It is given out in the memory of Gollapudi Srinivas (3 March 1966 – 12 August 1992). He was the youngest son of veteran Telugu film personality Gollapudi Maruthi Rao. This award was first announced in 1997 at Chennai.[3]

Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial Foundation

While directing his début Telugu film Prema Pustakam, Gollapudi Srinivas succumbed to a water accident on August 12, 1992. The Telugu film industry lost a promising director.[4] The Maruthi Rao family established the Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial Foundation to perpetuate the memory and instituted an annual cash award for the Best Début Director chosen from among Indian-language films. As part of the event, an eminent Indian film personality gives the keynote lecture.[5]
