Telugu actor Jai Akash who starred in films like "Anandam" and "Ready" has joined Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party. He has no plans to leave acting.
"I've officially joined TRS party. I'd like to juggle between politics and films, so I have no plans of quitting acting.
"The TRS government (in Telangana) is planning to set up a cinema township and I'd like to do my bit to be part of it. Whatever we do, it should benefit the industry," Akash told IANS Sunday.
Senior TRS leader Nayini Narasimha Reddy welcomed Akash becoming a part of the party.
The actor is currently awaiting the release of Tamil film "Kadhalukku Kanillai".
