The award comprising of a
cash prize of Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand and a memento will be presented at
a glittering ceremony to be held on 12th August 2017 at THE MUSIC ACADEMY, Chennai.

trust envisages to perpetuate the memory of Gollapudi Srinivas a young
director, who tragically passed away in an accident during the shoot of his
maiden venture in 1992. The award is announced annually on the 17th
of March and presented on the 12th of August each year.
The dignitaries who have
participated in the award presentation ceremony in the last 19 years include
Messers Sunil Dutt, Jaya Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Mrinal Sen, Govind

This award serves as a
huge incentive for debutant directors who have laboured long and hard to
translate their ideas onto celluloid. In their struggle and subsequent success,
the family witnesses its own son’s dream come alive. This award promises
first-time directors of not just nation-wide appreciation, but also recognition
of their hard work, and encouragement to scale new peaks of success.
Also, in a bid to make
the award function entertaining and educational as well, the spell binding
guest performance is often flanked by a Memorial Lecture delivered by an
eminent film personality. This serves as the perfect platform for the lecturer
to share his/her wisdom and experience in filmmaking with the budding
directors. Messers Naseeruddin Shah, Sunil Dutt, Goutham Ghose, Javed Akhtar,
Mrinal Sen, Shyam Bengal, Amol
Palekar, Goutam Ghose, Girish Kasaravalli, Girish Karnad and Rishi
Kapoor have been part of this rewarding endeavor in the past. These lectures
will be eventually compiled into a book for the sake of posterity.
