TIRUPATI: It’s a metamorphosis the Mahatma would smile at. After goondagiri, Chiru’s fans are now moving towards Gandhigiri. This comes as not too long ago ardent fans of the star attacked the actor couple Rajasekhar and Jeevitha as Rajasekhar, in response to a question by the media, said that Chiru lacked the experience to enter politics.
But that was when Chiru was yet to launch Prajarajyam. Now, the party, which purportedly is inspired by the Mahatma, among others has made Gandhigiri its credo. Give bouquets in response to brickbats, even if they are of the verbal variety. Here’s how Prajarajyam activists swept the roads in the temple town of Tirupati in a symbolic protest against TDP Telugu Mahila wing chief R K Roja’s remarks against the matinee idol. In a typical Gandhigiri fashion, they offered flowers to the photograph of the film actor-turned TDP activist.
“Henceforth, we would offer bouquets to her whenever she visits the district,” a Prajarajyam leader said. The trigger to the floral response? Addressing mediapersons after the party’s SC Cell meeting here on Monday evening, Roja said Chiranjeevi is a novice in politics whereas she is a known face not only in Andhra Pradesh, but also in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as an actor as well as a politician.
The firebrand actor, who made serious allegations against the Prajarajyam chief a couple of days ago, once again spit fire at Chiranjeevi saying films and politics are two different fields. “We might have acted in films, but in politics we belong to two different parties and we are rivals,” she thundered.
Denouncing the Prajarajyam chief’s comments against the Congress and the TDP, Roja said it would be better for Chiranjeevi to be clear on his party’s policies and agenda instead of throwing mud at other parties.
On the protests by the Prajarajyam workers over her remarks against Chiranjeevi, she said: “Criticisms and counter-attacks are part and parcel of politics. Prajarajyam claims it follows the Gandhian way, but why should its workers stage protests?” she questioned. But who can deny that the roja (rose) offered to her photo and the promise to offer bouquets when she comes visiting by Prajarajyam’s activists are Gandhian enough
Padmabushan Megastar Chiranjeevi now adds one more honor to his long list - honorable Doctorate. Andhra University will be awarding the Doctorate and presentation will be done on 6th November 6.
The entire film industry has congratulated Chiranjeevi on his achievement. On this very day, Infosys employees gathered at Chiranjeevi Blood Bank to donate blood and they got the opportunity to get photos with Chiranjeevi. Media also tried to touch base with Chiru on his doctorate and the opportunity came at Bllod Back itself.
Chiranjeevi confessed that 2006 has been a memorable year for him. "I am not even wondering if they are giving me Doctorate for my social services or for cine contributions. Irrespective of the cause, this belongs to you.I have not done anything with awards in mind but these kind of honors give me more push to strive hard and do more work", said Chiranjeevi. Answering to a question about how he should be referred from today onwards, he said, "Even my family members asked me the same. When the honors are coming one after the other, they dont know how I should be referred to any more. How many ever honors I get it is all because of you and I would always be 'Mee Chiranjevi'", said Chiranjeevi.
Chiranjeevi also talked about the remake of Lageraho Munnabhai. "I asw the film and I loved it. In fact, I would love to do the film in Telugu. However the producers bought the remake rights for an astronomical amount which is not healthy for the industry and that is what I am considering now. Even the producers are also pondering over the same. They are planning on how they want to execute this project. They have to decide how much they are expecting on Telugu industry and the equations would change accordingly.
" Chiranjeevi also elaborated his social awareness programs. In addition to blood bank and eye bank, Chiranjeevi is working vigorously on AIDS awareness program. Also, he is planning on drinking water program too. He is now one of the directors of Nandi Foundation and he is always planning to promote health awareness programs through his projects. He also pushed aside any talk on his entrance into politics. "I wont be involved either directly or indirectly in politics", confirmed Chiranjeevi. This event is also attended by Pawan Kalyan, Srikanth, Allu Arjun and others
