The other day, at the Telangana Rising Global Summit, industrialist Anand Mahindra got to meet Megastar Chiranjeevi for the first time ever. Taking to social media, he described the Vishwambhara star as a legend who came across as a person of "humility and genuine curiosity". He further wrote, "It was a powerful reminder that these two traits: curiosity to learn and humility to listen, are the bedrock of enduring success in any field, from film to business to policy."
Touched by the public appreciation, the Waltair Veerayya actor described Mahindra as "incredibly inspiring". He added, "Your humility and down-to-earth nature are truly admirable, and something I deeply value on a personal level. In many ways, you remind me of the legendary Shri Ratan Tata Ji, someone who grows into greatness through his values, actions and the way he carries himself. Your commitment to philanthropic initiatives is incredibly inspiring, and I’m even more enthusiastic about participating in such meaningful work with you."
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad is Chiranjeevi's upcoming theatrical release, to be released for Sankranthi 2026. The Anil Ravipudi directorial has seen the release of two songs (Meesala Pilla, Sasirekha) so far. Nayanthara is playing the female lead.
