Fondly known as the “Megastar,” Chiranjeevi has etched his name in the annals of Indian cinema with his exceptional acting skills, charisma, and a career spanning over four decades. As we commemorate his journey, let’s take a look at five must-watch films that have defined his legacy.
“Swayamkrushi” (1987)
Chiranjeevi’s penchant for socially relevant films is evident in “Swayamkrushi.” Directed by K. Viswanath, the film explores the struggles of a compassionate manual laborer who strives to educate the children of his village. Chiranjeevi’s heartfelt performance and the movie’s impactful message earned him accolades, showcasing his ability to portray characters that resonate with societal issues.
“Indra” (2002)
“Indra” stands as a testament to Chiranjeevi’s prowess as a mass entertainer. Directed by B. Gopal, this action-packed drama revolves around a man’s journey to restore his family’s honor and avenge the wrongdoings against them. Chiranjeevi’s larger-than-life portrayal of the titular character and the film’s powerful dialogues made it a massive hit, further solidifying his status as the Megastar.
“Tagore” (2003)
In “Tagore,” Chiranjeevi takes on the role of a vigilante professor who wages a war against corruption and injustice in the education system. Directed by V. V. Vinayak, the film’s impactful storyline and Chiranjeevi’s remarkable performance earned him widespread acclaim. “Tagore” remains a shining example of his ability to blend social themes with commercial elements.
“Magadheera” (2009)
Chiranjeevi’s cameo appearance in the fantasy epic “Magadheera” was a delightful treat for his fans. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli, the film explores reincarnation, love, and revenge across different timelines. Chiranjeevi’s charismatic cameo added an extra layer of intrigue to the film, making it a must-watch for both his die-hard fans and general audiences.
“Khaidi No. 150” (2017)
Making a triumphant return to the silver screen after a hiatus from acting, Chiranjeevi starred in the blockbuster “Khaidi No. 150.” A remake of the Tamil film “Kaththi,” the movie showcases Chiranjeevi’s dynamic screen presence as he takes on the role of a double role – a suave thief and a benevolent social reformer. The film not only celebrated his acting prowess but also marked a joyous reunion for his fans.
As celebrating Chiranjeevi’s 68th birthday, his contributions to the world of cinema continue to inspire generations. These five films are just a glimpse into his diverse and illustrious career, which has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Through his performances, he has not only entertained but also enlightened, making him a true megastar in every sense of the word. Happy birthday, Chiranjeevi!
