Konidela Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad, not many know his full name but he is iconically known as Megastar Chiranjeevi. He left an indelible mark on Indian Cinema, predominantly in Telugu language, with his inspiration and aspirational journey.
Hailing from a lower middle class family, he decided to embark on an impossible career path to achieve his dreams. While doing so, he became an inspirational idol to many. Youngsters look up to him to achieve the kind of success and heights he conquered over the four decades of his iconic career.
It is hard to separate Indian Cinema, mainly Telugu Cinema, from Chiranjeevi. He introduced Kung Fu fights, revolutionised dances on screen and with his unique style and charm attracted masses like no one else. He proved his mettle as an actor in Punnami Naagu, Rudraveena, Subhalekha, Swayamkrushi, Apathbandhavudu portraying some difficult roles.
With Khaidi, he changed the trend in Telugu Cinema and still, he is willing to push the boundaries with his latest Vishwambhara. He became a great example on how to use popularity and iconic image to help public in real life with his Charitable Trust, Blood Bank and Eye Bank.
While he got honored with Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan - India's third and second-highest civilian honors, he remains grounded and ready to learn to adapt to new-age cinematic developments. He laid path for many new actors, not just from his family, but many aspirants with his unique and inspiring journey, marking him as a true living legend.
