I wish the Megastar of Telugu cinema and one of the most influential persons in Indian cinema all the very best on completing 30 years in the cinema industry. His was initially tagged as Dynamic Hero and was later promoted to Supreme Hero after a couple of movies, and finally was crowned the MEGASTAR.

Chiranjeevi is the first hero for many include me. In fact, I have been imitating most of his styles while dancing to his songs on several occasion.

He has brought many firsts to Indian cinema. Dance is the first thing that comes to everyone's mind. The ease, the grace and the style he brings to each step is awesome. Most big heroes in India lack this; though this is not the skill required to be called a hero but yes an important component.

Next is his style. Gangleader is perhaps his best film on all fronts (even the image here is from the same film). No hero can boast of a song such as the title song of this film. Another title song in Kodamasimham too is a standout song. His comedy timing too is impeccable and is imitated by many modern day stars.

Even his flop films collect more than a number of hit films in other languages. Though he currently is going through a lean patch, he is sure to bounce back.

Personally too, he is said to be very affable and very down to earth. Though things have not been going his way since mid 2007, he has endured them with patience and set example for many of us.

On this special occasion, I wish Dr.Padmabhushan Megastar Chiranjeevi all the very best.
