Education

Nidadavolu Gurazala Bapatla Ponnur Mangalagiri and Mogalthur are where Chiranjeevi attended school.

Chiranjeevi was an NCC cadet who had marched in the early 1970s Republic Day Parade in New Delhi. Chiranjeevi developed an early interest in acting.

Chiranjeevi completed his intermediate studies at Ongole's C. S. R. Sarma College.

In order to pursue a profession in acting Chiranjeevi came to Chennai and enrolled in the Madras Film Institute in 1976 after earning a commerce degree from Sri Y N College in Narsapuram. 

Wife Surekha

When Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary they spoke up about their love lives.

When Chiranjeevi reflected on the journey he said: I ran across Satyanarayana a B.Com classmate when I was driving across the Kodambakkam Bridge in Chennai. I volunteered to drop him off at his uncle's house when he said he was going there. None other than Allu Ramalingaiah was his uncle. By then my three pictures had already been out.

He opened the door for me and claimed that Allu Ramalingaiah had collaborated with me on Manavuri Pandavulu. Allu Ramalingaiah wasn't present at the moment but I was nevertheless offered coffee. There was coffee made by Surekha. We were unable to see one another. Later she enquired Who is that guy? to my friend. He admitted to having played a part in Manavuri Pandavulu. Vallu Emitlata? Manitlenata she inquired.

Allu Ramalingaiah and his family members talked about me later. The dream of Allu Ramalingiah was to marry his daughter to an IAS official. Aravind however began to inquire about me and said that there was nothing wrong with trying. He is a Hanuman devotee who has no bad habits is highly educated is a diligent worker and has made a few decent movies according to my friends who gave him a good certificate. At the time I was opposed to marriage.

Makeup artist Allu Ramalingaiah and Jayakrishna the producer of Mana Voori Pandavulu are good friends. He persuaded him (Allu Ramalingaiah) and before giving the go-ahead he received positive feedback about me from more than 10 producers. I was honest when I informed him that I was too old to get married.

However, Jayakrishna may have panicked my father by warning him that I would become attracted to other females. As a result, he may have immediately assured them that he would persuade me. They dragged me to their place even though I didn't want to go see Surekha.

Surekha said that  After watching Mana Voori Pandavulu I thought the guy with these eyes looked good. I gave the go-ahead to marry an actor because my mother did so I reasoned that it would be wise for me to do the same.

Chiranjeevi continued  Elders asked for both of us to speak throughout the conversation before leaving the area. I asked her what she studied even though I was aware that she had a BA because I had to. Later I found myself at a loss for words because I don't have any female pals. I made the decision to marry Surekha after seeing her nature. She was also liked by my mother and father. Three months passed before the wedding. Going out before being married was perceived at the time as improper.

Once I had the urge to speak with her I dialled the landline and said Hello I'm Chiranjeevi to which she responded. I'm Surekha she said. Who do you want the phone given to? She said not a single word but I still inquired Is your brother there? and it hurt my ego. She responded No so I asked her to tell him to give me a call. On that Surekha said that I believed he requested the same because he frequently discussed wedding dates with my brother. I never considered that he was calling for me.

Chiranjeevi continued talking and said  Ignore the honeymoon. I didn't have time for a wedding. We intended to wed in February. I was acting in the movie Tatayya Prema Leelalu at that time. The movie's producer was MS Reddy.

There are sequences between Nootan Prasad and me. He is a busy artist Reddy remarked. Gets no dates. You get married in May. If you're okay I'll get married in February or later I told him. In contrast to other producers, MS Reddy refused to permit a hero to wed during the filming of the movie. He was assured by Allu Aravind I'll get your dates again. Regarding the combination have no fear. I work in the field as well.  As a result, we were married in February.

Struggles

Chiranjeevi was a person who had no family history in the movie industry. He was only passionate about dancing copying the moves of ANR and other idols of the time. He worked arduously to overcome the hurdles in pursuit of his life's goal of becoming a police officer. However, fate had other ideas for him.

The road was difficult even after joining Madras Acting Institute. While other members of his class such as seasoned comedian Sudhakar received immediate opportunities in Bharatiraja's Tamil films Chiranjeevi had to wait for the perfect opportunity.

Typically every hero aspires to be a positive role model rather than a disruptive force. However, Chiranjeevi had a strong desire to display his talents and individuality in cinema. It's possible that this is why at the beginning of his career he took on roles with more negative undertones like Punnami Nagu 47 Rojulu and Idi Kadha Kaadhu. Every moviegoer immediately saw how intense his eyes were and his dedication to being on film was admirable.

In the 1980s a lot of young actors made a name for themselves in the movie business by playing characters that were quite accurate to real-life situations.

Despite starting out in life as a bitter and angry young man Chiru gradually learned to play with his strengths as possibilities emerged. There were no young heroes during that time period who could dance as expertly as Chiru. The youth were mesmerized by our hero's dance moves as he captured this magnificent market. Along with international styles like Rock and Roll Break Disco and Techno—which were at the height of their popularity at the time—he could do Indian classical dance.

Chiranjeevi was the preferred choice for such movies and when aspiring director Vamsi wanted to make his film debut he picked Chiru to play the lead in Manchu Pallaki a movie that featured virtually exclusively newbies. However, Khaidi in which Chiranjeevi played an introverted jail escapee gave him his biggest break. At that time his signature black outfit with a headband almost started a Rambo fad in Tollywood.

Humanitarian Work

Chiranjeevi established the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust (CCT) on October 2 1998 which incorporates the Chiranjeevi Blood and Eye Banks. It is the state's top donor of both blood and eyes. More than 68,000 units of blood and 1 414 pairs of eyes have been donated by the trust.

Over 80 000 people in the state of Andhra Pradesh have benefited from the CCT's blood bank while about 1 000 people have benefited from its eye bank since it opened. A total of 1600 people have received sight thanks to the 350,000 eyes that have already been donated to CCT. Additionally, for the previous four years, CCT has received the Best Voluntary Blood Bank Award from the AP State Government.

At Jubilee Hills Check Post in Hyderabad on June 10 2006 Abdul Kalam, the country's then-president officially opened the Chiranjeevi Charitable Foundation (CCF). CCT has collected one lakh units of blood and this blood bank has provided blood to more than 96 000 patients. Chiranjeevi took part in the Narendra Choudary Tummala-founded Green Challenge in July 2018. To help patients impacted by COVID-19 Chiranjeevi established oxygen banks and ambulances throughout Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in May 2021.

Politics Career

In order to run in the 2009 Andhra Pradesh election Chiranjeevi created the Praja Rajyam Party in 2008. In 2011 the party was absorbed into the Indian National Congress after winning 18 of 294 seats. On October 27 2012, Chiranjeevi was appointed as the Minister of State with sole responsibility for the Ministry of Tourism. He held this position until May 15, 2014. At the 66th Cannes Film Festival in 2013, he launched the Incredible India Exhibition an event sponsored by the Ministries of Information and Broadcasting and Tourism. Chiranjeevi represented incredible India at the 14th International Indian Film Academy Awards presentation in Macau.

In the West Godavari district, Chiranjeevi ran for office in Tirupati and Palakollu winning in Tirupati but losing in Palakollu. On March 29 2012, he was nominated for the Rajya Sabha after joining the Congress more than a year earlier. He got elected and took the oath as a Rajya Sabha member on 3 April 2012. On 28 October 2012, he was sworn in as the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Ministry of Tourism Government of India.

The majority of the members of the Andhra Pradesh wing of the Congress party left in protest when the state of Andhra Pradesh split in June 2014 leaving the remaining state with massive debt and little revenue. However, Chiranjeevi stayed with the Congress and led a campaign for it as chairman of the Election Campaign Committee for the 2014 parliamentary and assembly elections in the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh. He chose not to run for office though.

Chiranjeevi has avoided active politics since the 2014 elections and throughout that time he has abstained from all congressional meetings. In April 2018 his term as a Rajya Sabha member came to an end.

Movies and Career

Chiranjeevi’s mother recommended him to choose the screen name Chiranjeevi which means Immortal in allusion to the notion that Hanuman lives eternally as his family worships the Hindu deity Anjaneya.

Punadhirallu started  Chiranjeevi's cinematic career. Pranam Khareedu however was his first publicly published movie. The Bapu-directed film Mana Voori Pandavulu helped Chiranjeevi gain popularity among Telugu viewers. In Tayaramma Bangarayya he had a little part. In the Kamal Haasan-starring movies I Love You and K. Balachander's Idi Katha Kaadu he portrayed the anti-hero.

Chiranjeevi performed the role originally played by Rajinikanth in the Tamil movie Avargal in a remake. Chiranjeevi released eight big movies in 1979 followed by 14 the following year. He portrayed the main antagonist in works like  Mosagadu Rani Kasula Rangamma 47 Natkal /47 Rojulu Nyayam Kavali and Ranuva Veeran.

First Movie Pranam Khareedu (1978)

This tale takes place in India just before independence. With the aid of the village Munsif a village landlord named Kanakayya (Rao Gopal Rao) marries Sita (Jayasudha) who is young enough to be his daughter (Nutan Prasad). After the marriage, he severely restricts her though. Bangaram (Chalam) the brother of Sita arrives from the town to look over Bangari (Reshmi Roy) the sister of Kanakayya's (Chandramohan) deaf and dumb servant Devudu. Bangari is in love with Kanakayya's other servant Narasimha (Chiranjeevi). Bangari is raped by Bangram. In a fit of anger, Kanakayya kills them both because he believes Sita is in love with Devudu. In the end, Kanakayya is killed after a backlash from the populace.

A Telugu-language Indian movie titled Pranam Khareedu was released in 1978. It included Madhavi as a special guest as well as Jayasudha Rao Gopal Rao Chandra Mohan Chiranjeevi and Reshma Roy. The movie came out on September 22 1978. The movie is an adaptation of a play by C. S. Rao. Kota Srinivasa Rao a character actor is making his film debut with it. Punadhirallu served as the catalyst for Chiranjeevi's cinematic career. However, Pranam Khareedu was his debut feature.

Subhalekha (1982)

Subhalekha is a family-friendly film with a dowry message. It was a great musical hit and a crowning achievement for our megastar. Sumalatha is a girl from the middle class who is intelligent and attractive. Her father tries to arrange for her marriage but he is unable to afford the hefty dowry requirements. Chiru is a graduate looking for work but not being successful in finding any so he supports himself by doing tiny odd jobs and feels that working anything as long as it is not illegal is not wrong.

After meeting they both make buddies. Since he is schooling his son to become a doctor Sathyanarayana the father of Sudhakar (who gained fame with this film as Subhaleka Sudhakar) wants to marry his son to anyone who will pay thousands of dollars in dowry. Sumalatha leaves her home since she is staying with Chiru rather than seeing her father struggle to arrange her marriage. While this is happening she begins to feel things for him but keeps them to herself. The remainder of the narrative focuses on how the young people teach a lesson to the older people who are eager to marry off their educated sons for dowry and on Sumalatha's wedding to the guy of her choosing.

Father of Hema is a talented poet as well as a teacher. However, he is unable to find a publisher to print his poems because his classical poetry is no longer in demand.

Despite the fact that Hema and Madhava are in love neither of them is aware of it because of social barriers related to caste and status. Hema is the first to recognize her love during a play in which she plays Lord Shiva's consort but she holds back her emotions because of cultural barriers.

One day Madhava sells his cows and lends the proceeds to a family friend to lend Hema's father the money he needs to pay for Lalita (Geeta) Hema's older sister's wedding. Madhava receives his writings from her father after he tells him what he has done. To have them printed Madhava travels to the city. When he comes back Hema is being transported to an asylum. He finds out that Hema is in shock as a result of her brother-in-attempts law's to rape her and the death of Lalitha who stood in the way.

Madhava poses as being mentally ill in order to get accepted into the same asylum where he endures a lot of suffering in an effort to save Hema. He is unjustly accused of trying to rape her after intervening to stop a guard from abusing her and is then subjected to shock therapy. He makes numerous attempts to aid in her memory recovery. After she is successfully rescued and realizes what he has done for her she wants to marry him. However, Hema's fiancé Sripathi (Sarath Babu) persuades Madhava to change his mind because he is from a lower social class and rejects her proposal. Madhava and Hema ultimately become one.
