We know about the latest controversy between Megastar Chiranjeevi and the Andhra Pradesh government. The comments made by Chiranjeevi about the govt’s involvement and targeting the Telugu film industry were taken out of context by the YSRCP party leaders, and they criticized Chiranjeevi that he only targeted the government of Andhra Pradesh to support his brother, Pawan Kalyan’s political stance. However, this evening the full video of Chiranjeevi’s speech came out in which he did not target anyone but just requested the state and central government’s to not target and kill the cinema industry.
Waltair Veerayya starring Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja has completed 200 days recently. On this occasion, the entire team celebrated. Chiranjeevi made some serious comments during his speech. Although there is absolutely no clarity on whether he is referring specifically to someone, He was quoted as having said, “Why do governments talk about actors’ remuneration? Not only the Andhra govt, he also took the reference of parliament discussing the remuneration of film stars.
Chiranjeevi said that people like politicians should think about special category status, construction of roads, projects, and employment opportunities. At the same time, “We have to think about filling the stomachs with the poor. If you do that, everyone will bow down to you. Moreover, what are you going to achieve by attacking the film industry, which is like a sparrow’?”, chiranjeevi responded. Later, Chiru said that he was very happy with the success of Waltair Veerayya. “There was a time when films used to play for 100, 175 or 200 days.
Now, they are playing only for two weeks. Chiranjeevi said that he is happy that Waltair Veerayya has performed well for 200 days in such a situation. Whereas, Chiranjeevi, who merged his own political party Praja Rajyam with the Congress and later served as union minister. At present, he is away from politics and is confined to films only.
In his speech, Chiranjeevi also spoke about the remunerations of film stars being blown out of proportion. He stated that the stars will take huge remuneration only if the revenue is generated and that will help many people help their livelihood. Chiranjeevi stated that the political leaders should think about public welfare and should not target and kill the cinema industry, which is a small scale one if compared with the politics.
