00:00And our Minister of State Information Broadcasting, Thiru Anna Gurugan, and Rest Minister Sanjay, everyone, I thank everyone for you inviting me to this 56th celebration.
00:25And as I told you, I told you like this before, I'm happy about it that I am born in a religious sense.
00:50So, first, I'm very lucky to be born to those parents.
00:55Because one night I told you Mr. Thirama Rao, who was an actor and then a politician, who changed the total condition of the country itself, not the Thiru, then the combined state, Andhra Pradesh.
01:11Okay, that's it. And then, as I am following the footsteps of my dad, my constituency is Hindupur, near Bengaluru, Karnataka, which was under Andhra Pradesh, in Anathapuram Silla.
01:28This is the third time I won my dad was also elected three times from Hindupur.
01:33Okay. And the third one, brother, which I wanted to express, is that I also run a cancer hospital.
01:41It was started 20 years back, that was my mother expired of cancer, and she wanted that, even the poor has to afford cancer treatment, with international standards.
01:56So, that's where my dad, after death, he started the hospital, Basavatarakam, Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Hyderabad, which is now one of the leading cancer hospitals in the country.
02:07Since 15 years, I am the chairman. Before me, there were many illustrious chairmen and board members. And through that, it's a task, we do free service. And also, for white card holders, we give concessions.
02:22Even without white card, who are there, we also give them concessions. All the latest equipment like robot surgery, pet care, everything, you name it, and it is there.
02:33It is there. So, that's what I wanted to also remember my mother, and also mainly the support of my wife, Mrs. Vasundra Devi.
02:46Hello.

03:13So, with that, support both wife, politically and cinema wife.
03:19So, I thank everybody for recognizing my, I don't say talent, it's a never-ending story.
03:26So, it goes on.
03:28I'm just 50 years old.
03:30Into the film industry.
03:31So, don't ask me for virginal age, okay?
03:37Thank you so much.
03:38Give it up for N Balakrishnan, ladies and gentlemen.
03:39And like he has an institution for cancer, I request everyone,
03:43Chahe wo kala kaar ho, chahe wo koi bhi insaan ho, apne fellow human beings ke liya,
03:48agar aap kuch bhi kar pahain, I think that will contribute.
03:51Moving on, can we please request Shri P. Ashok Gajapati Raju sir, honorable governor of Goa,
03:57to please say a few words and I promise you, we will start with the parade after this.
04:02A beautiful new chapter of IFI, the newest edition of the Film Festival, is thus beginning on a sustainable note,
04:17as we invoke the blessings of Mother Nature.
04:21Let's all thank Mother Nature in the midst of such a thoughtful gesture.
04:27The watering of the plant by dignitaries.
05:02Requesting all the dignitaries to please be seated and gentlemen, since 1952, IFI has
05:17been enthralling us with its eclectic selection of films, culturally rich and thoughtfully
05:22curated by distinguished industry experts and the government of India has played a key enabling
05:30role in it from the start.
05:32So on that note, Karan, let's say, no requests to please send a judge.
