Who’s Behind Sarileru's Mega Initiative?

Megastar Chiranjeevi gracing superstar Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru pre-release event as the chief guest astonished everyone. Generally, Chiranjeevi attends the functions of mega camp heroes as only they will be inviting him for their functions.

Their competitor Mahesh Babu inviting Chiranjeevi for his function and Chiru giving green signal surprised all. What stunned everyone is both showering praises on each other.

But sources say, Sarileru's mega initiative is not a flash in the pan and it was planned a long time back. Some say Mahesh got the idea four months back and he himself invited Chiranjeevi.

When asked why he invited Chiranjeevi as the chief guest, Mahesh told that he drew inspiration from Chiranjeevi in various ways and added that he encourages him a lot and praised him after watching Okkadu and later had two hours discussion after watching Pokiri. He said Chiranjeevi used to respond whenever he tasted success.

He said he remarked to Anil Ravipudi that if Chiranjeevi attends the pre-release event of Sarileru Neekevvaru, it would be good, during the film's crucial Kondareddy Buruju shoot. He said when he messaged Chiranjeevi one and half months back, he gave the green signal and when he told Chiru that he would invite him personally coming to his house, Chiranjeevi told him not to do so.

Some people say it was Meher Ramesh who is a relative of Chiranjeevi played a key role in convincing Chiranjeevi to attend the event after Mahesh told him that they wrapped up the shoot in a nonstop manner.
