Is Chiranjeevi, still No.1? - JustTollywood.com News



Mega Star Chiranjeevi is undisputedly the Number One of Tollywood from last two decades but the entry of this charismatic hero into political regime disturbed his image in both the fields. Trying to repeat the same stunt of NTR crowning the Chief Ministerial position, Chiranjeevi seems to have lost the grounds in either of the fields. Although the well built up craze for Mega Star in masses isn’t that wrecked but continuing of the political turmoil with in PRP and state politics may lead to any of the results.A call from Sonia Gandhi to merge PRP in Congress is a welcome note but the sentiments of Andhra people and the confidence shown by those PRP sympathizers will be surely affected.

Chiranjeevi might be well aware of the consequences to arise and here is what he opens his inner intentions attending the Sri Venkatesh - wara Arts College Annual Celebrations in Tirupathi. ‘I want to be Number One in every field either it may be Politics or Cinema. Inspired from the words of APJ Abdul Kalam to see Youth playing the pivotal role in Politics, I too joined the political stream,’ said Chiranjeevi. It is time that will decide, is he still the Number One in both the arenas.
