Niharika Konidela is making headlines everywhere in Tollywood right now. Her production, 'Committee Kurrollu', just won big at the 72nd National Film Awards, bagging two awards. The film won for Best Regional Language Film and also for Best Makeup.

Rudraveena was a sensation back then

The film, which stars a bunch of new actors, really connected with audiences because of its fun, message, and real, rooted emotions. It seems Niharika is carrying on a family legacy. About 38 years ago, her father Nagababu produced 'Rudraveena', which won three National Awards for National Integration, Music, and Playback Singer.

Megastar Chiranjeevi was the hero in 'Rudraveena'. Now, his niece Niharika has won a National Award for her film 'Committee Kurrollu'. But here's the interesting difference: 'Rudraveena' wasn't a box office hit, while 'Committee Kurrollu', directed by Yaduvamsi, was a blockbuster.

After the big win, Niharika told the media how happy she was. She shared that Chiranjeevi and Surekha were thrilled. Chiranjeevi told her, "Your father won a National Award for Rudraveena, and now you have. This is a proud moment for our family."

If he says it, I must be a boss

Niharika added, "Chiranjeevi garu is the 'thope' (the ultimate boss) of the industry. So when he calls me a 'thope', I really feel like I am one!" After trying her hand at acting, Niharika is now making waves as a producer.
