Megastar Chiranjeevi, the doyen of Telugu cinema, received the prestigious Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award, from the President to India Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi yesterday. The veteran actor is humbled by all the love and congratulatory messages pouring in from all quarters.
Last night, Chiru took to X and penned a heartfelt thank you note to everyone who supported him in the field of art, all those who loved and admired him, the union government for bestowing the Padma Vibhushan award, and to those who congratulated him on this occasion. Pictures and videos of Chiru receiving his Padma, and posing with his proud family after the presentation ceremony are going viral on social media.
On the work front, the Megastar is currently working on the highly-anticipated socio-fantasy drama, Vishwambhara. The film is being produced on the UV Creations banner, while Bimbisara fame Mallidi Vassishta directs it.
కళామతల్లికి, కళా రంగంలో నన్ను వెన్ను తట్టి నడిపించిన ప్రతి ఒక్కరికి, నన్ను ప్రేమించి అభిమానించిన అందరికి, పద్మవిభూషణ్ పురస్కారాన్ని అందించిన కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వానికి, ఈ సందర్బంగా అభినందించిన వారికీ, నా నమస్సుమాంజలి 🙏🏻🙏🏻
