Starting from Chiththooru V. Nagayya to Chiranjeevi, only a few heroes ruled the tollywood as number ones. Looks like, Chiranjeevi appears to be greater than all other number ones in one sense. As of now, all other number ones replaced the previous number ones without any time gap in between. In Chiranjeevi's case, the situation appears to be different. Even after his retirement in these six years, no hero has been declared to be number one by media officially. Moreover, Chiranjeevi's family is said to be dominating the tollywood trade with their industry hits and blockbusters. Apart from mega heroes, Prince Mahesh Babu is also said to be in number one race with three back to back hits.
Everybody thought that Chiranjeevi's previous generation number one hero's son would be number one of tollywood. However, Chiranjeevi did not allow the room for him to be claimed as a number one hero. Currently, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is said to be unofficial number one of tollywood. "On the other hand, Mega Power Star Ram Charan has emerged as completely eligible hero to become the future Megastar," says his followers. "Consolidating all these factors, Chiranjeevi is still ruling tollywood," says an observer.
