Megastar Chiranjeevi was last seen as a hero in 'Shankardada Zindabad' which hit the screens on July 27, 2007. Thereupon, he became busier in politics. As eight long years have run out since he donned the greasepaint, naturally, his craze and charisma as a hero could have been eroded among the cine fans.
In contrast, there has been a big demand from mega fans and movie lovers to Chiranjeevi for the past couple of years to do his 150th film. Finally, the project was officially announced by Mega Power Star Ram Charan through social media. And then, there was a huge response and excitement among the movie lovers everywhere with the exhilarating news. 'Chiru150' hash tag was trended at 2nd position in India level. Expectations on the project have been sky racketed. But then, why this huge craze for this project? Following are said to be the prime reasons for the mania surrounded on the movie.
* The time when Chiranjeevi got retired temporarily from movies, he had been ruling the roost as a number one hero in Tollywood. Although he had been holding the number one position for 25 years then, people thought that he could have held the same status at least for 10 to 15 more years. Such that they dissatisfied with the decision of Chiranjeevi's. No number one hero of previous generations got retired all of a sudden. Even if they continued doing movies they could have lost their number one positions.
* As people have not digested Chiranjeevi's retirement in movies, they started showing their affection on Chiranjeevi towards his successors like Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Mega Power Star Ram Charan and Stylish Star Allu Arjun. That's why, apart from their substantial talents, Chiranjeevi's factor kept mega heroes on top. And that's why all the records are currently held by them.
* Big B Amitabh Bachchan once heaped praises on Chiranjeevi as 'The King of Indian Cinema' in an occasion. In another occasion he appealed Chiranjeevi to do his 150th movie. And finally, Chiranjeevi's nod for the project brought cheers to his fans.
