Chiranjeevi unveiled the party name, flag and ideologies in front of a huge 9,00,000 plus crowd in Avilala, Tirupathi. Sticking to his August 17 announcement, the party name -- Prajarajyam -- reflected that the party is for the people. He donned the dais single highhandedly with his near 2 hrs emotional, well prepared political party speech and gave utmost importance to Handicapped and Seniors citizens by not allowing any VIP section for the meeting.

The flag of the party is 3/4 the white and 1/4th green with rising sun on white part. Prajarajyam initial ideologies is of democratic and secular party with more emphasis on backward classes, farmers, workers, women and youth. The goal of the party is to make state of Andhra Pradesh a happy - Santhoshandhra and Anandandhra.

He repeatedly assured the crowd that he is one of them and he has seen both poor and rich lives. He recollected the Mogalthur days where he slept half stomach because of poverty. His farming days and tough college times to learn acting in Madras with Rs 125/-. On acting side he said he acted in many roles from a outcast to riksha puller to cobbler and in the process learn many real life time situations. These excerpts from the dais reflected the recent criticism that he is getting as the newcomer to politics arena.

To sum up Chiru spoke honestly from his heart rather than the monolithic political speaking. I give him perfect 10 and only caution for him is not to be more of a defensive person for each criticism he gets on his way to assembly. What do you guys think of this mega speech ? Leave your comments

Good Luck Megastar !!

The wait is over for south India megastar fans, On August 17' 2008 Chiru officially announced his party in front of media. The podium with Ambedkar, Gandhi and Mother Therisa photos reflects the party ideology of Chiranjeevi party.

Chiru mentioned "A J Kalam" as his advisor who reflected why Chiru should join politics and is told as the motivation for him starting the party. He looked composed and confident with his well prepared speech despite of flighty rumblings heard in the media hall.

The media coverage concentrated more on its ads as seen from the following two youtube videos. Almost all of the screen is filled up with glazy deviating ads.

Who is right ? I have no opinion of who is right but I feel what slipped from Rajasekhar's loose talk is responsible for this unnecessary drama. Firstly, the media is the one who threw the stone in the mud by asking and forcing Rajasekhar of his opinion. Secondly, Rajasekhar who was not at all conversant with telugu language should have avoided the question altogether. The answer he gave is just NOT politically correct "Chiranjeevi Party ki Raanu ..ayanaki emi experience undhi ? Nenu raanu " with gestures.

Rajasekhar should have just thought about consequences before making such statements. Also its high time for Chiru to train his fans to be more political friendly and not spoil his reputation with such nasty incidents. May be this is all again a political drama to keep Chiru in the news by some background political elements.

To sum up, this is unnecessary drama to bring Chiru into political limelight.

Chiranjeevi's daughter Srija's wedding news

This news is becoming a sensational news in Andhra Pradesh, India where popular tollywood megastar Chiranjeevi's 18 year old daughter got married to Bharadwaja, a B-Tech student.

Update :Srija and Sirish were present in the courtroom during the hearing. In their petition, they also apprehended a repeat of the recent Kolkata incident involving the murder of Rizwanur Rehman, who dared to romance a business tycoon’s daughter.

Srija talks to media in New Delhi :

Pawan Kalyan hands over his gun and license in Jublie hills police station :

Whats funny I felt of Power Star’s revolver drama is when he asked people around him “What’s the boy’s name who married Srija?” ...haa you don’t know his name Pavan Kalyan….whole world knows and you better stop acting smart and don’t make your self a negative talking point in the media … After this revolver incident ..many stories have come out in the media about his severing ties and widening gap with his brother Chiranjeevi and hope they are not true….At least follow the matured footsteps of Chiru in this incident …As Chiru rightly said “Where ever you are Srija ..our well wishes are with you” ...thats the correct end to the drama.

Likes : I made a strong note to myself before watching the movie that 1) This movie should not be compared with Lage Raho Munnabhai and 2) Also not to expect young Chiru performances as he used to do in Gang Leader or Gharana Mogudu.These two thoughts I believe by themselves dilute the whole movie experience."Shankardada Zindabad" , the sequel in the Shankardada series is perhaps the most eagerly awaited Chiru movie of the year .This one was supposed to be a sequel like Lage Raho Munnabhai it has a story of its own and its refreshingly original and no connection with the first movie except the Chiru and Srikanth and their gang.First half was like a cool breeze with light comedy and Chiru steps.The title song does have some mega star steps with surprise appearance of few known actors in the song.Devi did a good job with couple of songs by matching the beat required for Chiru. As always Chiru excels in the role of Shankardada and he is well companioned by Srikanth. I felt director Prabhu Deva did justice to Srikanth in the movie by making him appear in most scenes of the movie,The first of the sequel (MBBS) had Chiru for entire length of the movie on the screen.

Dislikes : Second half is a drag and a bit boring with poor editing. Music is also some what weakest link of this film. Though couple of songs by themselves did not blend well with the story and songs are not that catchy that you want to throw CD in your car to listen multiple times during your commute. I believe that is inherent problem with Devi's music that you always feel that you have heard this tune before which makes the song uninteresting.The actress 'Karishma Kotak' did not suit to Chiru as well as to the story.Being a radio jockey , Kotak looked dull and I felt the chemistry between Ciru and Kotak bombed and traditionally knowing only few actress blend well with Chiru style and steps, directors repeatedly do this mistake.Trisha and Aaarthi Agarwal cannot match where as Sonali Bendre or Radha (yeah our old Chiru Radha) combination is what makes Chiru movies golden and platinum jubilees.The actress is biggest disappointment to the movie.

The emotional scenes of Chiru during press conference of chemical imbalance is not directed and edited properly.The whole movie I felt fell apart during these scenes.I expected Chiru to do 'Apathbandawadu' style emotional performance.Knowing the director 'Prabhu Deva' probably every one expected there will be some unique chiru steps but hardly we noticed any in this movie.Also looked like Chiru did put on some weight in this movie.

On the whole "Shankardada Zindabad" is okay movie to watch. If you are a die hard fan of Chiru like me then you will enjoy every chiru moment of the movie.
