Chiranjeevi's stunner over 'Industry Pedda'

Tollywood has been experiencing the void after the demise of Dasari Narayana Rao. It is known that Dasari had been at the forefront of taking many initiatives for the benefit of the industry liasoning between the industry and the various governments, be it the center or the state. However, after his demise, Tollywood sported an abandoned and orphan look with no celebrities coming forward to resolve the issue.

Many felt that Mega Star Chiranjeevi has been trying to fill in the void at times in a sincere manner be it promoting the small heroes films, taking initiatives to help the poor and needy during the covid time and undertaking welfare programs through his trust and interacting with the CMs of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. However, with numerous ego clashes and internal politics, his efforts did not fructify. Stars like Mohan Babu and others are not keen to accept Chiranjeevi's initiatives and agree on Chiranjeevi as Industry head or pedda dikku. There is no denying that Chiranjeevi never claimed that he is Industry Pedda Dikku but despite this many are criticizing Chiranjeevi for his initiatives.

In the midst of all this, Chiranjeevi made shocking and sensational comments. Chiranjeevi while participating in the distribution of health cards to film works, when film workers requested him to be the Pedda Dikku of the industry, Chiranjeevi said ' I don't like the stature or power as pedda dikku. I don't want any such post. Even if I am not holding any powerful post, I will not shy away from my responsibilities as the son of the industry. I will take responsibility of all and will come forward to resolve the problems of all. However, I will not interfere in unnecessary issues and politics. I will not try to resolve differences between the two groups.But I will always support the workers and their wellbeing"
