Although Megastar Chianjeevi has played not many mythological roles, he was, every now and then, seen in gods' roles in a few of his movies. Chiranjeevi was seen as lord Anjaneya in 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari'. Besides, he was seen as lord Shiva in 'Sri Manjunadha'. The movie went on success those days. Many people and critics felt that Chiranjeevi was a perfect fit in the role of lord Shiva. Chiranjeevi was also seen in Shiva's role in the movies such as 'Aapadbhandhavudu' and 'Parvathi Parameswarulu'. No other hero among the present generation has been succeeded in god's role as Chiranjeevi succeeded in Shiva's role.
And now, Power Star Pawan Kalyan sports the role of lord Krishna for 'Gopala Gopala'. He is currently devoting himself studying scriptures and mythological books to fit the bill in that character. Can Pawan Kalyan surpass Chiranjeevi in mythological role? Let's wait for the release of 'Gopala Gopala'.
