HYDERABAD: Noted producer KL Damodar Prasad aka Damu became the new president of the Telugu Film Producer’s Council. He represented Dil Raju's panel. Damu (339 votes) defeated Gemini Kiran (315 votes) of C. Kalyan's panel by just 24 votes. There was a neck-to-neck competition between both candidates till the end.
Y. Supriya and K. Ashok Kumar were unanimously elected as the Vice-Presidents of the council. T. Prasanna Kumar and YVS Chowdhary of C. Kalyan's panel were elected as the honorary secretaries. Bharath Chowdary of Dil Raju's panel and independent candidate Natti Kumar got elected as the joint secretaries.
