Star touch to animated film on HIV/AIDS

HYDERABAD: A short 2D animation film to create awareness on HIV/AIDS, starring Nagarjuna, Anushka Shetty, Shabana Azmi, Navdeep, Colours Swathi and Shruthi Hasan would hit screens soon.

Nagarjuna and Anushka released the CDs of the short film in Telugu and English versions with the title ‘Prevention is better than cure’ at LV Prasad Eye Institute here on Friday. The programme was jointly organised by Nimmagadda Foundation and Teach AIDS. Speaking on the occasion, Nagarjuna said that he gave his own voice for this 2D film. He called upon all NGOs to come out and help people suffering from the disease.

HIV/AIDS education through films has proven to be more effective than other approaches, with people, especially students learning and retaining information about HIV prevention without directly discussing sexually explicit or otherwise taboo topics.
