Chiranjeevi | The ‘megastar’ hopes to score a smash hit on debut

The actor whose numerous screen avatars overcome tremendous odds almost as a matter of routine is banking on his huge fan base and the support of the Kapu community, to which he belongs, to emerge as a potent third political force in Andhra Pradesh

For three decades since making his movie debut in 1977, Chiranjeevi has dominated Tollywood, as the Telugu movie industry is known, like few other actors have before and since. As the leader of Praja Rajyam Party (PRP), which he launched last year, Chiranjeevi is now trying to parlay his on-screen success into political power in Andhra Pradesh.
