The Government of India announced the 2024 Padma Awards. The government declared Padma Vibhushan for Megastar Chiranjeevi, the matinee idol of Tollywood. Padma Vibhushan is the second-highest civilian award in India after Bharata Ratna. Chiranjeevi is chosen for this award for his exceptional service to art and society.
Chiranjeevi is the second Tollywood actor after Akkineni Nageswar Rao and the seventh actor in India to be honored with this prestigious award. Chiranjeevi was bestowed with Padma Bhushan in 2006. Chiranjeevi isnโt just a film star but he is a great philanthropist. The actorโs services to society through his blood bank made him a demigod among the audience.
Even during COVID-19, Chiru helped a lot of cine workers and arranged oxygen cylinders for many in need. From a constableโs son to being the top star in Telugu cinema, Megastar Chiranjeeviโs journey is just incredible. Chiranjeevi inspired many actors and directors to believe that anything can be achieved with talent and determination. Hailing from a non-film background, Chiranjeevi reached great heights in Tollywood and ruled the industry unanimously for over three decades.๐
The mega family plays a vital role in the flourishment of the industry, but Chiru was the one who sowed the seed for it. He paved the way for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun. Not just with his contemporaries, Chiranjeevi is even competing with present-generationheroes, which shows the unprecedented acceptance he has among the Telugu audience.When it comes to box office records, Megastar stands tall with multiple industry hits and blockbusters. Telugu cinemaโs most celebrated person getting Padma Vibhushan is a proud moment for the entire industry, and we at 123Telugu congratulate the legend on this tremendous achievement.
