Pawan remembers Pranam Khareedu, Chiraneevi touched. Mega Star Chiranjeevi completed 47 years of journey in Tollywood and he penned an emotional note thanking all his fans and well-wishers for the same.
In the meantime, Chiranjeevi's brother AP Dy CM Pawan Kalayn remembered Chiraneevi's first film shoot. He posted "I still vividly remember when ‘Peddha Annaya’ acted as the hero in the film ‘Praanam Khareedhu’. We were in Nellore at that time, and I was still in school. We went to Kanakamahal Theater, and the elation I felt that day is beyond words.
In his 47 year film journey, it is truly inspiring to see how he has grown by leaps and bounds in every aspect, yet has remained humble at heart, never losing his healing and helping nature.
May Durga Maa bless him with a long life filled with success, health, and prosperity. And also , we wish to continue seeing him in many more versatile roles in the years to come. For him, there is no such thing as retirement, unless he chooses it. And knowing him, he never does..
A fighter by birth.. my Peddha Annaya who will be affectionately called as Shankar babu aka ‘ Mega Star Chiranjeevi’."
