From a remote village in coastal Andhra to stardom and now to the centrestage of Andhra Pradesh politics, Chiranjeevi has come a long way. As the Telugu superstar gets set to announce the birth of his political party, millions of fans have gone gaga and predicted that he will be the next chief minister of the state.
Chiranjeevi's first big hit was "Khaidi", which was released in 1983 and was inspired by Hollywood blockbuster "First Blood". By then he had acted in 60 movies. The films that followed gave him the image of an action hero.He churned out more hits in the 1980s. Pasivadi Pranam, released in 1987, brought him stardom. Going beyond his action hero image, Chiru donned a variety of roles in the 1990s.
As the 53-year-old reigning star of Telugu cinema gears up for his new role in politics, the question being asked is whether he can recreate the magic of NT Rama Rao who had stormed to power within nine months of floating TDP in 1983, a feat that has no parallel in India's political history......
