He takes remuneration like Shah Rukh Khan, is punctual like Amitabh Bachchan, does comedy like Govinda, shoots dance and fight scenes like Rajinikanth, has lost weight like Adnan Sami, his son, brother , Brother-in-law, nephew are all associated with films and now they are all players of politics. He has acted in 149 films so far and is now preparing for the 150th, which will be about the water crisis. These are Chiranjeevi, the megastar of Telugu films.
People say that his 150th film is Praja Rajyam Party, which premiered as the Tirupati Conference and now after merging with the Congress, he will make the dance work with the leaders of Congress and Telugu Desam Party of Andhra Pradesh. If the cocktail of politics of NT Rama Rao, Lalu Yadav, Sharad Pawar, Pramod Mahajan and Jayalalithaa is made, it can be named Chiranjeevi.
Chiranjeevi, who claimed unmatched popularity, contested assembly elections from two places in the year 2009 and won from Tirupati after losing in the hometown Palakollu. On the issue of merger with the Congress, he had claimed that I cannot even think about it. After the Lok Sabha elections, he had spoken of support on the issue of making Sharad Pawar the Prime Minister and later started praising Manmohan Singh.
Initially Chiranjeevi was supportive of the demand for a separate Telangana state, then started saying that the development of the state would come to a standstill due to the disintegration. He says that I came into politics with the inspiration of Mother Teresa and APJ Abdul Kalam. He lives in the posh Jubilee Hills area of Hyderabad and has opened his office in Khadi Colony.
Chiranjeevi is recognized as a megastar in Telugu films and now wants to become a megastar of politics. Chiranjeevi, who is bored with the glare of films, has to watch politics. In the 2009 assembly elections, his party won 18 out of 294 seats, while only four members of his party could go to the Lok Sabha. Now he feels that his Kappu caste could also be dominated in Andhra Pradesh under the influence of Khammam, Reddy and Brahmins, as there are a large number of people of Kappu caste in the districts of North and East Godavari, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram etc.
Chiranjeevi has also acted in eight Hindi films. Born in 1955, Chiranjeevi started working in films from 1977 and in the first 60 films he had to be content with small roles. He has been awarded several Filmfare Awards and Padma Bhushan. Konidela Shiv Shankar is his real name and he claims that one night he was seen by Hanumanji in a dream and addressed as Chiranjeevi. At the behest of his mother, he started working under the name Chiranjeevi and since then people know him as Chiranjeevi.
