Chiranjeevi marks 48 years in the film industry

Indian actor Chiranjeevi has marked 48 years in the film industry. The milestone traces back to September 22, 1978, the release date of his first film, Pranam Khareedu, directed by K Vasu, in which he played the role of Narasimha.

Reflecting on his career via a post on X, Chiranjeevi expressed gratitude to the producers, directors, actors, and technicians who contributed to his journey. He noted that while he has received many awards and honors, the love and support from his audience is more valuable than any victory or accolade. He specifically thanked his fans for treating him like a ‘family member’ and making their support a central part of his identity.
