Moved by the plight of people in flood-hit Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Tollywood hero Junior NTR announced a donation of Rs 50 lakh to each state on Tuesday.

In a social media post, he said he was praying to God for the recovery of Telugu people from this calamity soon.

"I am announcing a donation of Rs 50 lakh each to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as part of my support to the Telugu states," he said in a post on X.
