Vijayawada: Representatives of the Movie Artists Association (MVA), Andhra Pradesh, called on state cinematography minister Kandula Durgesh at the Secretariat in Velagapudi on Saturday, suggesting that the state government itself build a complex titled Amaravati Cinema Studios over 100 acres of land in Amaravati.

Others who meet the minister include actors Meesala Bhaskar, Military Prasad, Tina Chaudhary and Manne Satyanarayana.
