The iconic hits 70 on August 22?
The Legend has shaped cinema for multiple generations! And he continues to do so. He makes all of us his juniors feel old.
Your fondest memory ?
My fondest memory is the way he showered love upon us during the shooting of Major. He made and brought our lunch with his own two hands! People don’t realize just how magnanimous Chiranjeevi Garu is.
Has he been a personal influence?
Grateful to have grown up on his cinema. Grateful that he is one of the greats that inspired me to be in cinema. Stunned that he still acts and dances better than heroes half his age. Happy Birthday to the biggest and brightest Megastar .
Your favourite Chiranjeevi films?
Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, Rudraveena, Aapadbandhavudu are some of my favourites.
If you had a chance to share screen space with Chiranjeevi, what kind of cinema would you like to do with him?
I don’t know if I have ever dreamed of sharing screen space with him, always thought of myself as the little kid in the audience watching him entertain the masses. If I do however, it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
What makes him so inspiring?
I really think he has a “never ever give up” attitude to work and life and it’s truly one of the pillars to his youth and more importantly, his legacy.
