Happy Birthday Chiranjeevi!
We wish Chiranjeevi many many happy returns of the day!
Very few know about Konidela Siva Sankara Varaprasad, but he is quite famous as Chiranjeevi. Right from a five-year-old kid to a 70-year-old man, everyone likes him for his style of action both in fights as well as dances. Though dancing in Telugu films during duets was 'started' long ago, it is Chiranjeevi who added some style and flavour to them.
Born on August 22, 1955 at Mogaltur in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, Chiranjeevi is quiet fond of acting and joined the Film Institute in Madras, after completing his B.Com degree. He started his career in a small role in 'Punadi Rallu', but the first film that saw the light is 'Pranam Khareedu'. The audiences started liking him because of his ease in dance movements and swashbuckling fights. However, he also tried his hand in soft roles also like Subhalekha, Intlo Ramaiah Veedhilo Krishnaiah to name a few. However, he got a good break as commercial hero with 'Khaidi'. With the tremendous success of 'Khaidi' he turned a big star.
Several of his films proved commercial hits and many producers are after him as his film gives them minimum guarantee. Though there are no godfathers for him in the film industry, he worked hard and cemented his position in the tinsel world just through his performance and became a numero uno of Telugu film industry. For that matter, there are several top class artistes/heroes in Telugu like Nagarjuna, Balakrishna and Venkatesh and some of them also acknowledge that Chiru is the Mega Star and had the stature to be called the numero uno.
His movies like 'Rudraveena, Swayam Krushi, Apadbandhavudu' proves his urge to satiate the real artiste in him. Though they failed commercially, they earned him a place in several audience as an artiste. It may be noted that a top class national weekly like 'India Today' some time ago declared that Chiranjeevi is being paid the highest remuneration than Amitabh Bachchan, whom the entire country believe that it is Big 'B' the highest paid artiste.
As an artiste he enthralled the audiences on the silver screen. At the same time, he had decided to expand his activities for the social cause, by utilizing his fans in a right manner. He started Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, which promotes blood and eye donations. Through the trust, Chiranjeevi had helped several people in getting sight and the blood collected through his blood banks is saving lives of hundreds of people.
Recently President Abdul Kalam inaugurated Chiranjeevi Charitable Foundation and released the first vision document of the foundation. It is a privilege for the foundation that the first citizen of India visiting a private organization and launching it. It is Chiranjeevi who had a number of awards. Above all Chiranjeevi had bagged the third highest civilian award 'Padma Bhushan' of India.
We wish Chiranjeevi, many more years of acting career and long life to serve the needy.
