Mega Star Chiranjeevi has been the driving force in the industry. Before Ram Charan entered film production with Konidela Productions, Allu Aravind used to produce mega films on Geetha Arts banner. Everyone knows that Allu Aravind controls everything and Chiranjeevi merely follows him. Be it Chiranjeevi's political entry, Praja Rajyam launch and its merger with Congress, everything happened on the directions of Allu Aravind.
He influenced party functioning and ticket allocation and Pawan Kalyan recently revealed how Allu Aravind commented that he was not required for campaigning. Allu Aravind used Mega Star's name till his son Allu Arjun got a star status and later when Allu Arjun tried to form his own fan club and deviate from mega fans with his comments Cheppanu Brother, Allu Aravind remained silent.
There is no denying the fact that Allu Aravind's invisible and powerful hand was there behind Chiranjeevi keeping aside his best friends Sudhakar, Hari Babu, Prasad Babu and Narayana Rao as they often used to tell that because of 'short fellow' (Allu Aravind), their friendship got broken. Same is the case with Devi Varaprasad who vowed to make films with Chiranjeevi after NTR. He disappeared after Mrugaraju with Chiranjeevi and same is the case with Jayakrishna, Kodi Ramakrishna, Raviraja Pinisetty, Kodanda Rami Reddy, KS Ramarao etc.
Chiranjeevi did not even encourage when the sons of Raviraja Pinisetty, Kodanda Ramireddy, KS Ramarao made their debut on screen. Everyone knows Chiranjeevi attained stardom with stunts and dances. Chiru never bothered about late Raju Master or his mentor Saleem master. Venkatalakshmi, wife of late fight master Raju during her 67th birth anniversary lamented that Chiru did not bother about their family.
