In his first public contact after entering politics, Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi on Saturday visited Siricilla town in Telangana region and met families of weavers who had committed suicide due to financial distress.

A large number of people gathered to have a glimpse of their hero as Chiranjeevi's convoy entered the backward town in Karimnagar district the hub of handloom industry, about 140 kms from here, amid tight security.

After a brief visit to the textile park, he called on three families whose bread-earners had committed suicide due to mounting to debts.

The actor was visibly moved as families poured out their woes and narrated how the successive governments have failed to address their grievances.

chirus siricilla tour today (good decision)

Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi will make a “flash visit” to Sircilla in Karimnagar district tomorrow and spend a few hours with weavers to learn of their woes first hand.
Arriving in town by road by 9:00 a.m, he will also spend some time with the families of weavers who committed suicide due to financial hardship

The visit will be a prelude to several such flash visits to various parts of the State in the days to come to understand the problems confronting the people.

This will also serve as a warm-up exercise for him ahead of his Statewide tour beginning later this month.

The decision on the visit was taken at the core committee meeting of the party today. The implicit message of the Sircilla trip is that contrary to the contention of the ruling Congress and Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy that all’s well in the State and the leadership could not be better, there are pressing problems aplenty.

To begin with, the actor-turned-politician appears to be on a mission to prove Rajasekhara Reddy wrong by focusing on the plight of the weavers.

The tour is the first Chiranjeevi is undertaking after entering public life. He will return to Hyderabad in the evening.

We had tears in our eyes

'We had tears in our eyes," reveals Ram Charan Tej, recalling the poignant moment he shared with his father-actor Chiranjeevi after enacting a scene together for his upcoming film.
The actor wistfully recalls that Chiru was reluctant to leave the set and was sitting quietly in a chair red-eyed.

"I thought we could do a couple of films together but dad surprised us with his decision to join politics," he says as an afterthought.

Entrepreneur-turned-actor
Interestingly, the son of Chiranjeevi initially aspired to be an entrepreneur but fate had other plans for him and made him an actor. "I never realised that a golden opportunity was lying at my door and I was scouting for it at other places. One day I broached the idea of taking up acting and dad just agreed," disclosed Charan who honed his acting and dancing skills in London. He debuted with Chirutha and though it got a big response, it was labelled as a demo of the rookie. "Actually that was what we intended to dish out and we were satisfied with the final outcome," reasons the actor, who admires director Puri Jagannath for showcasing his varied talents.

The father-son jodi
"I was always fascinated by the Amitabh-Abhishek jodi and I enjoyed watching them together. Similarly, I dreamt of doing at least a few films with my dad but now I think it may not be possible," he rues. He had to pester his reluctant father for a special appearance in his next periodic film. "Finally, he agreed to do one scene and a song. Wrapping up that scene was the most touching moment of my life," says Tej.
He also brands Chiru as his best critic and watches the movies of the famed dancer to fine-tune his bop. "Undoubtedly, he is graceful," he opines.

Charan admits that he has matured with time and has learned to take the highs and lows of life in his stride. He says, "I have realised that politics is a different ball game altogether. My father is sensitive and he cannot see anybody suffer.I feel that it is his empathy that differentiates him from regular politicians.”On his much-awaited epic "It's a reincarnation plot and the period is about 400 years ago.

The film travels from past to present but the mainstay is an enchanting love story," reveals the actor, who claims that it was challenging to portray the demanding role. "At times we spend 3 to 4 hours for just one shot," reveals Charan who will unveil his new look in this periodic epic. Later, he will be joining hands with promising director Bhaskar, who is known for family entertainers, for another film. "We had a discussion and Bhaskar also felt the need to try a new genre," announces Ram, who seems to prefer variety.

On his personal life
"At times, I do feel I am missing out on regular life but I freak out on foreign locales and I also love shopping," informs the new-age star who surprisingly feels stressed when he is not on the sets. "Probably, work is my stress-buster. Acting has become a paid holiday for me," says the young man for whom family is sacrosanct and dedicates all his leisure time to spend quality time at home

gandhi giri-chiru giri

Chiranjeevi has thrashed many a villain in reel life, but he will be adopting a non-confrontationist Gandhigiri style in his political life. In fact, Chiranjeevi had played a role in popularising Gandhigiri in the state through his film Shankar Dada Zindabad, a remake of the popular Lagey Raho Munnabhai


It is known that the Praja Rajyam chief has been going through books of self-help gurus such as Stephen R. Covey, Norman Vincent Peale and Dale Carnegie to teach his party workers a non-confrontationist problem-solving approach in political matters. Even if the Praja Rajyam leaders come under attack from political rivals, the party would exercise utmost restraint while responding.

"Chiranjeevi wants to establish moral standards in the political system," said the Praja Rajyam spokesperson, Mr Parakala Prabhakar. The rule is applicable to everyone and this was impressed upon Rayalaseema strongman Bhuma Nagi Reddy.

"Even Tammineni Sitaram was given a lecture on non violence when he joined," said a close aide of Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi will not wear Khadi to advertise his Gandhism and will continue to don his customary white shirt and black trousers. "You won’t find any change in my attire. I want to go to the public with my normal dress," Chiranjeevi told us.

chiru fans are dissappointed

Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi’s statement of making a Dalit as the Chief Minister if his party was voted to power has not gone down well with his fans. The annoyed fans, led by several delegations, called on Chiranjeevi on Tuesday and made it clear that they want to see him as the Chief Minister and “none other”

They told him that such statements could send wrong signals to the party activists which comprises mostly of fans. Realising the gravity of the situation, the Chiranjeevi camp jumped into action to set things right.

The actor-turned-politician met senior leaders to take stock of the situation. He asked the party spokesperson, Dr Mitra, to “clear” the clouds over his statement. Party leaders found themselves in a piquant situation as they could comment against Chiranjeevi’s stand and at the same time could not pacify the furious fans.

Will chiru himself become CM and declare his caste as Dailt ?

Chiranjeevi stated that if they are voted to power, as August 15th would celebrate Independence similar importance would be given even for September 17th as well. On Wednesday at P R P office on the eve of Telangana Liberation Day he stated that as country Independence Day even Telangana Liberation Day would have equal importance.

Posani warns Chiru's critics
Director and actor Posani Krishna Murali reacted sharply to the criticism against PRP President Chiranjeevi. He said that those who questioned the authenticity of Chiranjeevi entering politics were in fact not influential people. "Who are these people? I suggest them not to make unnecessary comments against Chiranjeevi. If they continue to mud-slinging, then we will come into direct picture. And once we start talking about them (critics of Chiru), we will almost torture them and kill them with our words," Posani maintained.

chiru army

Chiranjeevi's camp worried at the reported denial of the state police to allocate additional personnel to the Prajarajyam chief, his close aides are training thousands of young men across the state to get them accustomed to techniques of crowd controlling and policing during his proposed political tour across the state.

At present, the star's younger brother Pavan Kalyan is overseeing all security issues. Nearly 150 ‘commandos' sporting black uniforms are under his direct supervision for guarding the megastar and his family. Though the film actor has been allotted two personal gunmen for round-the-clock security by the state government, ex-cops in in the actor's camp feel that the actor needs more protection. Nagendra Babu's aides have also started recruiting well-built young men from existing private security agencies for imparting necessary training to upgrade them as personal bodyguards to the megastar.

Sources said that J S Rao, a ticket aspirant from Nalgonda and said to be close to Allu Aravind, is handling the task. Rao, a body builder by profession, has been instrumental in imparting training to these select young men at an apartment complex under his custody in Filmnagar.

At least 350 of them are undergoing a tough training regime from 5.30 am, learning judo and karate. They are also being trained in mob dispersion and rapid action skills to rescue the megastar to safety, in case die-hard fans go on a rampage. Incidentally, most of these young men from Rayalaseema.

Meanwhile, it is reliably learnt that another 3,000 non-Telugu speaking people are also being trained by individual agencies in the neighbouring state away from public glare and under the direct supervision of a member of the Chiranjeevi family.

Talking to the media at Vizag, where he attended the valedictory of a Karate contest, he said that Chiranjeevi proved his charisma and impact on the people with his Tirupati meet. He suggested that the PRP leader should be careful in the selection of the right candidates at the constituencies and give importance to the women in the elections.

MEGA YATRA

Praja Rajyam Party chief Chiranjeevi is likely to wear "khakhi" dress during his state-wide tour which would start in another couple of weeks from now.

1. Since sometime Chiru is seriously thinking on type of dress he should wear to make his own identity with common man.

As of now he is wearing black and white dress. but even this gives him rich look. He may not shift to common politician dress as he wants to be different than politician.
