Chiranjeevi powerful message at APTA Katalyst Global Business Conference 2025. Mega Star Chiranjeevi graced the  APTA Katalyst Global Business Conference 2025 at Hitex and speaking at the event he sent powerful message with his thought provoking speech.

Felt Like a Hero

Chiranjeevi recollected 'Since my 8th class I used to think of achieving something. I suffered eye injury while playing badminton, injured my fingers while playing volleyball and then got scared and stopped playing the games.I joined NCC and rose from Petty Officer,Cadet Captain, Sr Cadet Captain and I was excited when I participated in march past in front of then PM Indira Gandhi. I wasn't sure as to what to do and thought of becoming Sub Lieutenant and Lieutenant. But during college days I acted in a drama 'Rajeenama' and when everyone especially beautiful women started seeing me as a hero, I felt very happy. Later with the encouragement of my father, I went to Madras and got training but even before that few producers offered me roles. In Madras, I was discouraged by many but I did not lose my confidence.'

Getting Branded as Iron Leg

Chiranjeevi said ' I don't know the spelling of Enterprenuership so I will not talk about it. However I will share a few things. When I did Tiruguleni Manishi with Sr NTR it turned out to be a flop. Later I was removed from the next project citing this as a reason. I was scared that I would be branded Iron Leg. Then I remembered Eagle and thought that to fly one should work hard and afterwards air will help it sustain'

South India's Rajkapoor Family

Chiranjeevi added ' We should be in such a way that those who criticise us should always think about us. Many new actors come and they are in the impression that with talent they can get stardom. That is secondary.Our behavior should be good along with talent. After NTR, I used to be the top star. I never aspired for that position. Our family has 9 heroes. Pawan Kalyan used to say our family should be like Rajkapoor Family. We worked hard and earned the tag South India's Rajkapoor family.

Names Pawan, Ram Charan, Ignores Allu Arjun

Chiranjeevi said ' I feel Pawan Kalyan and Ram Charan and my family members are my achievements. For our achievements, people's love and affection are the corner stones'.
