Movie Artist Association (MAA) elections for the tenure 2021-2023 will be held on October 10. The announcement was made by VK Naresh, the incumbent president of MAA.

The Disciplinary Committee (DRC) of MAA headed by veteran actors Krishnam Raju, Murali Mohan, Mohan Babu, Giri Babu, and Siva Krishna met on Wednesday and have recommended the above date for the elections. Initially, the elections were scheduled to be held on September 12, but MAA has decided to conduct the polls on the second Sunday of October owing to the hectic work schedules of its members.

Actors Prakash Raj, Jeevitha Rajasekhar, Vishnu Manchu, Hema, and CVL Narasimha Rao are contesting for the post of president. It is being speculated that Prakash Raj has got the support of Chiranjeevi, while Vishnu has received the backing of actor Krishna. The contestants have intensified the poll campaign and are leaving no stone unturned to garner the support of the association members. The dates for the nomination, counting of votes and the declaration of results are yet to be announced.
